Anderson Valley Brewing Company Ee Tah! IPA

Aroma: “Fruit esters mixed with woody notes—orange, pine, wet grass, grapefruit, lemon. Light caramel and bread crust.”

Flavor: “Piney with orange and blood orange in tow. The malt is simple and leaves a slightly sweet profile which probably brings out the richness of the citrus. The bitterness is about right and lingers pleasantly, although a bit more would help offset the sweetness.”

Overall: “Clean and full bodied. The citrus notes are juicy and interesting. The pine is strong, and there is some boldness to this IPA. It’s an intense piney beer.”
