Pours mid to light amber with a medium sized, quite compact white head. Good retention, moderate lacing. Nicely fresh and vivid aroma with upfront fruitiness (a nice profile: tangerine, grapefruit, lighter hints of tropical fruits), floral notes and some grassiness in the background (maybe the slightest resinous/piney hint). Taste profile follows the aroma, maybe with a slightly less bright/defined fruity component (a bit of sweet/jam-like character to it). A slightly fragrant grainy/crackery base, delicate grassy notes (as mentioned with the slightest resinous hint). Overall pretty intense in bitterness but also quite sweet, with a balanced (fruity) mouth and a bitter edge in a dry (grassy/floral) finish. Medium body, average to high carbonation, pretty lively on the mouth but still goes down easily. A nice double ipa.
