Growler pour, filled at HooDoo. Damn! Thanks, Wyatt! And welcome home. A darker, golden orange pour, thin fizz. Aroma is a touch juicy, complete with a bready malt backbone. Flavor is a steady caramel malt. Slight sweet side to it. Flavorful, and nails what I look for in a classic American IPA. Enjoyed this.

At Capital Brew fest.
This was poured into a mini snifter.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy amber color with a decent transparency about it. There’s a nice lacing sliding right on into the beer.
The smell had a nice citrus to piney blend of bitterness just rolling super nicely into a nice cleansing sweet maltiness ( English? , didn’t they just make an English IPA that I just had today? That’s okay, still good for the most part).
The taste was mainly sweet through the citrus hops and then allows a really nice sweet maltiness to invade but not distract, combines very nicely.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat sharp but not overbearing. I say this was good for its style.
Overall, if anything, this AIPA balanced well, perhaps not as sharp as a fair amount of normal AIPA’s, but hey I’d have it again.
