(Draught at Brydens, Oct 12 2013) Pours a clear medium orange, average white head with big bubbles, no lace. Aroma has citrus hops, orange heavy, floral, slightly resinous. Flavour is a good blend of hops with decently complex malts, the two work well together. Slight caramel sweetness along with citrus and floral elements to start, and a moderate but resinous (fruit more than pine) bitterness builds from mid-palate on. Malts stay in the mix, never grainy, finishes fairly dry. Medium-bodied but fairly sticky on the tongue, moderate to high carb. A good IPA, nice malt backbone plus a different hop profile than we’re used to from local brewers, nice effort all around.
