MadTree/Fathead's Lupulin Effect

Aroma: “Grapefruit and lemon with a bit of stone fruit. Pine and herbal behind that. Mostly Old School with a bit of New School thrown in. As it warms, melon, cucumber, and some tropical fruit with a touch of alcohol heat.”

Flavor: “Citrus and pine. A bit of honey and caramel. Medium sweet into intense bitter that lingers. Really interesting grapefruit-pith character. Some significant alcoholic warmth. Smooth for a West Coast IPA.”

Overall: “A dank, boozy IPA that is what this style is known for.”
