On tap at the brewpub. Look, I am by no means an IPA expert and I can care less for the bud numbing bitter style. However, this beer probably should be in the APA style regardless of its name, its quite mild for an IPA. Darker with a big head. Nice mild ipa perfume aroma. Yes, initially it starts out fairly mild then tries to build. Has an IPA backbone but it lacks the common terrible bitter rudeness so prevalent in todays IPAs. As a lager lover, this is probably one of the better IPA I’ve ever tasted and that’s due to the fact I don’t like the style. If this is 9%, it really hides the alky well. very little co2 and its not mouth coating viscous either. No long bitter finish on this one. Go figger. Yes, my girlies lager loven taste buds kinda enjoyed this one.
