“Sweet toast malt hits the nose first, then grapefruit, limoncello, a touch of red apple. Floral, diesel hop flavor, a sweet, crystal malt–like presence ties it all in and leads you to an off-dry finish. This is all complemented by a great mouthfeel. A very classic and solid American IPA.”

“Aroma has a soft and velvet-like texture with oozing tropical fruit and citrus notes. Those qualities flow across the palate with an almost smoothie-like hop experience. Orange notes, leaning pineapple. Soft and delicate, if simple finish.”

“Moderate diesel-and-resin hop aroma, with light tropical hints and a bit of bready malt. Golden and bright, with a head that retains well—great body and carbonation. In the mouth, the hops shift more into resinous pine, paired with a smooth, round, and slowly building bitterness, while the malt evokes biscuit and pie crust. The aroma carries through to the flavor, with rounded garlic and diesel, resin, light pineapple, and mango hop flavors, buoyed by a moderate malt sweetness that keeps things in balance. Finishes mostly dry, hops in sync with malt and bitterness, as they carry into the aftertaste and fade off at just the right time. Very pleasant.”
