Pours a clear copper with a weak off white head. It has a big inviting aroma with a mixture of grapefruit hops and pine hops along with a sticky chewy malty goodness to balance the hoppiness. The aroma also crosses the line into grainy grassy wet hoppiness. The best smelling hoppy beer brewed in Florida for sure. The flavor starts out thick and almost sticky maltiness that’s quickly followed up by heavy handed grapefruit and pine hop bitterness that leans into a grassy wet hop sensation as noticed in the nose. The first half of the taste is pretty much a hop bomb. This big flavor carries for a while and then levels off into the finish with just mild pine hops mixed with medium roasted malts and sweet malts creating excellent balance at the finish and into the after taste. Very nice example of the IIPA style and almost stunning that yes this is a FL beer, land of the sickly sweet skunk lager.
