Appearance: cloudy golden color with a 1-1/2 finger white head. Minimal lacing on the glass.
Aroma: very faint for an IPA. A faint generic hoppy note is the best I can do tonight.
Flavor: fruity with a touch of sweet malt on the delivery and then the pine attacks the tongue. Pine, floral hops, strong bitter note, the flavor is much better than the nose – good thing.
Mouthfeel: pine needle, bitterness, moderate carbonation, and a wool like texture. A long lingering note of dry bitterness weighs on the tongue.
My Strength Rating: 7.5 – solid pine and bitterness on the tongue. Long lingering notes.
To the Point: pretty decent AIPA. I’ll go low B for a grade. I seemed to enjoy it more as it warmed up. If you like that piney flavor profile and aftertaste this is one you need to try.
