Crisp golden and lightly coppered coloured body with a small, one to two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of crisp herbal and lightly resinous hops with a good deal of bitterness noticeable, along with a dash of malts and some lighter alcohol notes as well. Medium-bodied; Fresh hop flavours dominate with a lot of herbal and citrusey notes that show a solid and balanced amount of malts that show a bit more of the grainy and lightly specialty grain type notes along with more of a nutty profile and finishing with perhaps more alcohol and astringency than is common for the style, but not too potent to overpower everything else. Aftertaste shows well and contains a good amount of flavours and consistency while being a bit hoppy and showing a nice bite towards the end. Overall, a nice and enjoyable IPA that fits nicely for the city and shows well throughout - good and herbal with a light bitterness, but a balanced amount of malts and even a touch of sweetness at the very end. I sampled this twelve ounce can, after a hockey game in Arlington (Ballston) in early 2019, given to me by a teammate - thanks Nick!

Draft at Nationals Park. Poured a clear orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was light floral notes, resin. Flavor was light juicy notes, very mild, slight malt finish. Decent, standard IPA.

Orange with a white head. Classic IPA style. Citrus and resin rounded out with a bit of caramel malt. Medium bodied. Finish has a good fruity sweet bitterness that sticks around. A nice drinking IPA.
