On tap at the Boise BP hazy deep bright golden orange thin soapy head. Big heavy piney and tropical juicy hop flavors. Fairly heavy and slick. Drinks like even bigger than the posted 7.2%. A hefty, juicy IPA

Draught at Sunrise Village locale, Puyallup, 8/17/16.
Man, Ales for ALS must be getting either fairly desperate or very large. How the hell did The Ram get the hops for this?
Minimally hazy, drab, dark brassy-gold body sports a small white head showing moderate retention.
Honey, bread, sourdough, stewed hop and mushy nectarine and white grapefruit comprise the nose. There’s a lot of hard mineral, dull grain and straightforward orange-lemon rind. No alcohol and mostly clean, however.
In the mouth it’s quite sweet, with lots of honey-caramel, a big dose of piney-grapefruit and some mushy-sweet apricot-peach. Gets a bit fatiguingly sweet as it progresses, with very monotonous pine-grapefruit backed by peach. Lots of caramel. Low carbonation needs a boost and tightening.
