32oz crawler from Whole Foods in Chandler pours with a crystal clear deep copper body that supports a tall light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up estery fruity sweetness that seems pear and apricot like and then I get biscuit malts, a mineral note and faint candy like citrus hops in the background. The taste delivers soft sweet citrus hard candy and thin shards of cherry cough drops heading into a modest resiny hop bitterness. It achieves a nice balance toward the finish between the bitter hops and the various sweet flavors going on here. Interesting IIPA. It improves some as it warms but it doesn’t really come together.
