Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a clear deep gold colored body that supports a thin dirty white head of foam. The mild aroma offers up thin layers of smoke (what?), earthy smoke (hmm?), and a bit of citrus. Odd. The taste delivers a load of smoky ashy notes, thin bacony rauch and then a bit of bitter citrus rolling into faint citrus juice. The smokiness is odd but I'm rolling with it. Not sure how an IIPA ends up smoky like this.
