Aroma: “A touch of sulfur with biscuit notes. Hops notes of garlic and bit of onion. Banana, spring onion, grapefruit, orange, and pine.”

Flavor: “Big bitterness up front with a dry astringent note that stops just short of harsh. As it starts to warm the harshness subsides and a touch of grain sweetness comes out. Lovely creamy mouthfeel. This beer has a nice balance between the sweetness of the fruity hops notes and its bitterness. Pine, some grassy character, grapefruit, and lemon are present.”

Overall: “The harshness from the bitterness lingers into the aftertaste and detracts a bit from the overall. A little sweetness would help balance the earthy notes. It’s a bitter IPA that isn’t ashamed of being so, but not so bitter as to turn off more delicate palates. Clean, citrusy, fruity, and herbal, this is a nice take on the style. Enjoyable.”
