This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was dark hazy muddy brown color. A ton of floaters wandered throughout the beer. One finger white head that dissipated immediately. Barely any lace.
The aroma takes on fresh \"green\" tobacco leafy rawness flowing against a soft malt backbone. Bitter \"green\" grassy hops bite into the midsection of this aroma to try and balance.
The flavor brings the soft sweet malt to blend with the sweet hop portion. Bitterness doesn’t seem to want to shoulder the malt, so it mostly stays separated and forcing a sticky raw and chewy aftertaste with the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a pure medium on the body, must be hop floaties (for an AIPA, I don’t think anyone is going to complain about the body on this beer).
Overall, hmmmm...well, in a world full of AIPA’s, is this worth coming back to, probably not. If I wanted something similar in hop profile, I’d seek Hogback’s Coffin Factory.
