The very hazy copper beer has a LOT of carbonation - it overflowed as soon as I cracked it. The picture here was four pours to let it settle, and I can already see that it's pretty good on lacing. The aroma is dusty pines and bright citrus; it is absolutely mouth-watering.First sip is strikingly different from most of the other recent IPAs. It has a solid caramel malt for the citrus and pine to sit atop, and the bitterness is there, but it is fleeting; the malt is doing its job very well. So, as a sip, I'd say this is a keeper, but a sip isn't enough, is it?
Tip-in is caramel malt, light carbonation tingle, and pine dust. The middle is a mix of bread, citrus, pine, grass, and resin. The finish is a crisp snap of pine needles, oranges, lemons, and resin. It's a simple beer, but it's a good one.
Bottom Line: That is a VERY drinkable beer.
3.5/5
