An American Style IPA delivers ripe tropical fruit flavors, citrus zest, and a touch of honey from the malt. Deliberately unfiltered.

Aroma is malt cardboard and a little hop. Flavor is pretty good more malt forward than hop The Hop that is there is good but more of an APA than an IPA. Body is decent with a lingering bitterness. Nice drinking beer.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, best before 12/11/2016. Pours hazy medium orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, apricot, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, honey, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, apricot, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, honey, light caramel, lightly toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/citrus peel/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, apricot, mango, lemon/orange peel, honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light dryness from lingering bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6.8%. Overall this is a great IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellow bitterness. Very juicy on hops with balanced malts; never too sweet with just enough dryness. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottle. Orange caramel malt and metallic grapefruit peel flavor. Hazy golden yellow with giant cream colored head. Moderately sweet orange, light caramel malt, and mildly bitter tinny grapefruit peel flavor. Okay body.
