Draught at Deep Ellum, 8/16/15.
Deep copper-golden body is clear and shows a medium amount of white head with good retention.
Fruity, juicy hops in the nose are quite well-done. No rampant acidity (not that you’d expect that from mosaic or sorachi) and with plentiful citrus and strong floral notes. Ruby red grapefruit, to a lesser degree and hints of light mango and meyer lemon. Really nice, with just a touch of honey-like malt in the background, easily balancing and no alcohol or flaws noted.
Zesty hop bitterness leads off the beer, with a touch of honey and bread dough softening things immediately. Lots of fruits, dry hay and grass and meyer lemon-like citrus notes all seem to explode. Lovely, unique hop profile free from all of the grapefruit and pine that are so many IPAs recently. Clean, well-attenuated malts and ample carbonation. Great beer, one of their best in a while.
