Bottle: Pours a true copper color with a large sandy head. Plenty of thick, sticky lacing. Intense aroma of sweet citrus and floral hoppiness. Smells like a hop bomb! Taste is brash with floral hops, ro real citrus, and a very mild malt presence. Some of the florals stand out and the finish becomes a bit dry and well, bitter. I like a bit more citrus and/or malt to bring this IPA up in overall score. Still, I can’t help but like it a bit.

Bottle, was pleased to see a new IPA on the shelf and am looking forward to this one after a long day of working outside. A nice clear copper color with a modest sized creamy off-white head. Hoppy but soft and subdued. I shouldn’t have read raphaels notes first...crap. Yes, carmel and metallic flavors. fairly high bitterness, but not much fresh west coast hoppiness. A bit grassy and almost a touch of smoke or rotten log. A bit off. carbonation is a little soft as well. The lingering bitterness is putting me off even more. Dissapointing.. I think I have a few more SNPAs in the back of the fridge...oh please....oh please...
