Hammerheart Li’l Hesty Session India Pale Ale

 Hammerheart Li’l Hesty Session India Pale Ale.

5.5 % ABV, Hammerheart Brewing, Ely, Minnesota. 

Almost clear (chill haze), amber/orange coloring, slim, lasting head. 

In the nose: big citrus, tangerine and marmalade. Orange and grapefruit. Slightest smoke (some may contend.) 

In the mouth: bitterness begins, riding over a mound of malt. Citrusy delights abound. Altogether smooth, easy, highly likable. Is there spruce here, too? Perhaps, I think.
