Decently fizzy and strong amber coloured body with a copper glow and a nice two centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a long time. Aroma of crisp and slightly nutty malts with a light dose of German and lower AA hops with some sweetness in the nose as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Relatively strong crisp malt notes show a bit of a rustic characteristic and some nuttiness on the end that brings out a bit of sugars as well. Aftertaste shows a bit more of the hops here with a big kick of flowers and some perfume with only a subtle note of lemons at the end, but a lot more hop bitterness on the end. Overall, a decent and relatively strong, crisp IPA with some perfumey and bitter hops, but balanced nicely with some good malts throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce pour on draught at Laos in Town in Washington, D.C. (Capitol Hill North) on 13-November-2022 with my wife and thre kids while eating some great food, for US$7,00.
