ASSERTIVE TROPICAL HOPS BALANCED BY COMPLEX MALT GIVE THIS IPA A BIG PERSONALITY WITH A DRY FINISH.
A hoppy attitude and a mouthful of dynamic flavors give this IPA a big personality. Assertive, fruit-forward hops with aromas of orange blossom and pineapple mingle with flavors of wet pine and sweet malt with a dry finish.

(Keg at One Pint Pub, 20161028) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had pine, grass and caramel. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, caramel, fruitiness, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, hoppy and bitter. An excessively sweet brew.

Draught @ Albion. Clear dark amber with small beige creamy head, faint citrus aroma, low carbonation, bitter taste with citrus peel flavor, thin body, long bitter finish. The citrus peel taste is somewhat not too pleasant, bit like moldy.

This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-hazy off amber to slightly burnt orange color with a moderately thin rimmed light white filmy to foamy head.
The aroma blends some sweet to piney bitter hops over a sturdy malt backbone. Light tobacco, sly sweet citrus.
The flavor takes all of the previously mentioned aromas to blend nicely. Some dry sweet floral lends a short portion super far underneath. Semi-sweet and somewhat sticky aftertaste with finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation seems fine for the style with a sly bitterness to grip my tongue.
Overall, good AIPA for the most part. Probably could come back to, if necessary.
