On tap. This beer has a clear gold color and a lacing head. Light hops in the aroma and flavor and balanced by medium sweet malt. This is an older style ipa, and by older I mean early 2000s. Not bad for a session beer. Balanced with a sweet malt after taste.

Approximately 16 oz plastic cup draft at Ember’s - a Fire & Ice Lounge in the Detroit airport. The pour is a mostly clear golden with a small off white head. The aroma is resin, pine, and a bit of caramel malt. The taste is the toast caramel malt, followed by softly bitter resin hop and a bit of pine mineral finish. The palate is medium bodied with active carbonation and the dry mineral finish. Solid.

Nice golden, beautiful creamy look. Aroma has dank hops, resiny and comes with a bit of spoilt mango. Taste has big mango papaya and sweet honey base. Bitterness comes out stronger at the end, keeps tingling. Nice classic take on IPA, well done.
