Bottle shared by Doug at footbalms going away party
Appearance: Slightly hazy yellow/gold with a medium sized white head and good lacing
Aroma: Fruity and caramel
Taste: Fruity and bitter grapefruit
Ok, easy drinking. I would have never guessed the high IBU that’s listed, I didn’t think it was very hoppy.

Growler pour courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Pours clear deep gold with impressive tall firm head. The aroma is full and bold with drool inducing spicy hops, some white wine notes and firm hop earthiness. The taste is solid rich yummy IPA that I could drink all night. I get firm spicy hops, earthy hops and herbally hops as well as a sliver of malt sweetened citrus and followed up by near robust pine hoppy goodness into the finish. Wow! Well done.
