IPAs are certainly beers that lean towards bitterness. Many balance that bitterness with a lot of residual sweetness, not something Davin wanted. Instead, he wanted to balance the beer by providing a nice fluffy texture by using malted and flaked wheat which also helps showcase the juicy hop aroma and flavor. Hops add bitterness and flavor and aroma, depending on the variety and when they are added to the brew process. Cascade and Centennial hops give Ananda juicy citrus, mango, melon aromas and flavor.

From tap at Bardog Tavern, Memphis. Fruity hoppy aroma with citrus, grapefruit, pine, orange, and light pale malt. Light sweet with a good bitterness. Medium body. Very serviceable fruity IPA.

12 fl oz can purchased at Total Wine, Louisville, KY, 2,29 $. Drunk at home. Cloudy golden, two finger white head. Looks good. More resin than floral on the nose. Taste starts with malty elements followed by floral hops, citrus and resin, little bit oily at the palate. Some bitterness. Below average carbonated. I like that stuff.

This brew smells of resinous hops and some citrus. The flavor is moderately bitter with pine and citrus. Malty. Medium bodied. It’s good though at best average for the style.
