Poured into an English pint glass, the appearance was a semi-hazy burnt crisp yellow to bronzed muddled orange. No head or lacing.
The aroma started off with some grassy bitter to sweet hops, mild earthiness, and a nice balance of spiciness. Mild citrus hops.
The flavor takes the spiciness of the hops and moves it forward above the earthiness and bitter to sweet grassy hops. Intentional soapiness seems to come out smoothly yet mildly. Citrusy to grassy aftertaste leading into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a great sessionability about it. Mild carbonation. Good grip of the bitter hops enslaving the harshness appropriately.
Overall, good English styled IPA with a cleaned up yet gentle soapiness ever so mild but definitely telling me it’s English through and through.
