A blend of northwest hops known for their tropical fruit and citrus characteristics, complimented by the addition of grapefruit peel, give this northwest IPA a peachy apricot nose that transitions to the bitterness of grapefruit peel in the finish. Citrus Mistress sets the tone for citrus inspired beers everywhere.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a light hazy copper color with a one to two finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. Slight stringy to semi-spider web lacing glazes around the glass.
The smell starts off with a nice sweet grapefruit leading into a decent bitter pulp side and then the mangos and pineapple help to open it up just a tad more. Light peach and then a slight pine also come in to balance to sweet and slightly bitter.
The taste is bitter with a good sweet trying to balance. Its there for the most part and helps to make this beer to really want to be a sessionable IPA. There’s a slight peach to grapefruit aftertaste and a slight dry to semi-wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation feels like an AIPA and yet still lets the bitterness hit my tongue appropriately as an AIPA.
Overall, AIPA or session IPA, I’ll take it. It feels, smells, and tastes great, I’d have this again.

Bottle: Bright golden color, small off-white head. No surprises in the way it smells… citrus, grapefruit, melon. Nice. Hop flavor is also on point; citrus, subtle florals, and melon. Light malt backbone. Hits the spot.

Bottle to glass. Moderate citrus and a little herb. Deep gold and slight orange with a moderate white head that dissipates quickly to leave a collar and scattered dusting across the top. Taste is mixture of malt and citrus hop, with some resiny peel. Moderate high bitterness.
