Lucky Scars IPA by Currahee Brewing Co. is an American IPA and will be judged as such by BJCP 2015 category 21A. It pours a deep golden yellow color, with a slight haze and long-lasting white head that sticks to the glass. The aroma is full of fruit thanks to a blend of hops and a vibrant yeast. The fruit is citrus-forward (grapefruit, lemon, tangerine) and tropical (mango, passionfruit, pineapple) along with a berry character. Behind the hops, there is lightly sweet, honey-like malt with a light toast & bready character. The flavor is similar to the aroma, packed with fruit, which at times shifts from a sweeter mango/berry character to a more pithy lemon/tangerine/grapefruit. In either case, it's always hop-forward, with a dry yet semi-sweet finish from the medium-low bitterness. Underneath is a lightly sweet honey teddy graham-like malt character. The low malt/bitterness gives way to a light body with a very soft mouthfeel that is extremely easy-drinking.
