22oz bomber. 4-05-14 edition. Thick unfiltered orange-peach-tanned body. Foamy white head fades out after a few minutes. This is really a superb IPA. Exceptional balance, big juicy hop tones. There are some mild apricot, peach-like tones going on, but also has a firm, steady NW citrus, dryness. Toasty malt backbone. Really solid stuff, can’t wait to dry others in the series!
