Tasty IPA, citric and resinous with a clingy, welcome bitterness on the back end. Grapefruit, pine, and passion fruit sit on top of pine, crackers, and hints of pencil shavings and earth. Finishes with a mildly sweet wet malt flourish. Fade has a faint alcohol presence--a bit strong for a 7.5% pint--but otherwise a nice beer. Enormous sweet citrus nose, and the pour comes out amber-gold with a lasting white head and spotty lacing. Solid pint.
