Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a hazy to muddy copper/orange color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a fair pace. Sly speckled lace ran here and there.
The aroma has some sweet grassy to citrusy qualities coming out over top of a light malt level.
The flavor seems to lean towards the sweet side of a blend between the hops and the malts. Decently blended aftertaste rolling into the same sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. ABV felt fine. IBU’s, well, doesn’t seem like 97 to me, way smoother on my tongue.
Overall, for the most part, it was a pretty good AIPA I could come back to if offered. Thanks Justin.
