Telegraph West Swell Juicy IPA

Aroma: "Moderate peach and apricot up front with some pineapple just behind that. There's a citrusy herbal component like bergamot. Slight bready malt in the background to support."

Flavor: "Really bight herbal and grassy note comes through on the flavor. The lemon like citrus comes through secondary. Slight bitterness but subdued. We really like the bettering charge. Finishes dry with a nice lemon/lemon grass note."

Overall: "Overall a good beer that is somewhat grassy and has some herbal character to it. Lemon citrus is really what I think saves the beer to a degree with a nice malt backbone. The bitterness is spot on and gives a clean bitter bite but subdued."
