Growler pours with a clear copper body that has gold edges and supports a nice tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up some citrus hops and then faint vaguely tropical fruit like hop notes as well as a bit of pine. The taste hits with some pleasing malt sweetened citrus hop flavor like clementine and tangerine and then it rolls into increasing levels of hop bitterness that are edged with a thin resiny almost pine hop like note. Behind the hops is a nice malt base as well as a rye twang that is working well here. Nice IPA.
