An english-style IPA with earthy, herbal hop notes, well-balanced by bready malt.
Why does the world need another IPA? Because this one ain't like them others. We use hops of a different color, earth and herbal, well-balanced by bready malt. The result? An English-style IPA that separates itself from the ubiquitous bunch.

12 oz. bottle thanks to Tripplebrew. Aroma is malty, yeasty with a light citrus hop. Taste upfront is fruity citrus then mellowed out by plenty of bread like malt. Ultra-light carbonation gives it a flat like mouthfeel BUTβ¦ it doesnβt impact it negatively. I really enjoy the malt character and fruitiness. Very little to no bitterness. Pine hops hiding in the back ground. Decent, some drinkability.

Pours orange with a sticky foamy hed. Aroma has notes of sweetness, malts and fruity hops. Taste is quite sweet and malty with notes of fruits and hops. Some glue notes as well. Smooth, slightly bitter finish. Okay, quite malty and sweet IPA.
