Comments
A Great A IPA for all!
Pours a clear amber, with two fingers head. Head has nice retention and lacing.
The nose is predicatable: hoppy with a little malt. Hops are grapefruit citrus and pine. Taste is nicely hop focused, with malt and the citrus hops balancing the more piney and earthy flavors. A nice smooth body with just enough carbonation to still be a little prickly on the tongue.
Although it may not be as nuanced or complex as some other American IPAs, this is a good example of the AIPA style and more widely available than many of its competitors.
