Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pine, cracker, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness.

Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming after the finish as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a damn nice session IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of bright citrus/tropical/piney hops and light-moderate bready malt flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out notes of lactose, bourbon and a little cocoa - very little roast.

Many thanks to ThirstyBird for sharing! Extremely deep and thick. Dark milk chocolate. Coconut, roasted malt. Thick and viscous. Completely complex, sweet but not too. Great deep chocolate aftertaste. Melting chocolate with a round smooth body. Fascinating stuff!!
