This American IPA pours a beautiful dark golden to light amber color. The beer greets you with citrusy and spicy hops up front blended with a lightly toasted malt both in aroma and flavor. There are hints of spiciness, a touch of apricot and hints of pine blended in throughout. A clean and inviting hop profile throughout tied together by pleasant malt and a pleasant lingering hop finish made this a rock-solid examples of a classic American IPA. A terrific choice for a particularly hot day.
