Hops: Citra, Mosaic.

This american IPA is designed to create a harmonious blend of hop flavors, aromas, and a refreshing bitterness. You will find a blend of tropical fruit, berries, and a touch of pine for balance. The malt bill has just enough complexity to complement the hops. The finish is dry despite the silky mouthfeel.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: ruddy orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some messy lace
Aroma: some tropical fruit, berries, and some piney hops all blend together very nicely and add in a little bit of clean bready/crackery malts
Flavor: mildly sweet to semi-bittersweet through the prior mentioned aromas; clean aftertaste of the berries & piney hops and a touch of malts
Texture: medium bodied; some sessionability about it; semi-smooth; finishes with faint tones of berries, piney tones and some tropical fruit sweet smoothness
Overall: pretty nicely done IPA I believe I would come back to.
