First sip is suitably hoppy. The mix of hops is more mild than I would have expected, and the whole thing flows like a West coast IPA. Where are these guys from? Oh, California - I guess that makes sense. Well, this is certainly a West coast IPA from the sip, and I hope that extends to the full gulp.
Tip-in is carbonation tickle and hoppy hopness. The middle come a-riding in with a bite of hop bitterness in the back of the throat as a kind of bready malt with lemon flows along the tongue. The middle is quite delightful. The finish does not ruin things. Instead, the bitterness turns a bit tart, and a strange sweetness couples with the hops to dance the dance ... of love.
Bottom Line: A delicious beer. Balanced, flavorful, and well-crafted, I can recommend this completely.
