The aroma had a light tropical fruitiness derived from the various hop varietals. The color was a beautiful copper hue along with great clarity and good carbonation. The flavor featured a nicely balanced slightly sweet malt along with good bittering hops with hints of pine resin. However, I found that this beer had a light body, mouthfeel and alcohol as if this were a session IPA. Nevertheless, I found this beer to be wonderfully tasty with smooth, crisp flavors along with a slight dryness in the aftertaste.
