The key to a good American IPA is getting the hops right and making them taste great. This beer gets it right, from a pleasant piney, resiny aroma to a fresh hop flow in the flavor leading to a smooth bitter finish. The beer is as pale as a good IPA should be, dark gold and crystal clear with a bright white head. There’s a great hop punch in the flavor, spicy and earthy with enough malt to provide adequate balance. This is a hop-driven beer, though maybe not quite enough for the professional hop heads. The hops taste great and work well with the malt. A subdued IPA, but it’s a good one.
