Solemn Oath Kidnapped by Vikings IPA

Solemn Oath Kidnapped by Vikings IPA. Solemn Oath Brewing, Naperville, Illinois. 6% ABV. More information: …to be filled in later….

Growler filled at the Nova's, Hudson, WI, 3/15/15. The Ides of March!…Oooo….Consumed the evening of Thursday, the 19th of March. I don't usually wait this long to open a growler, but, somehow, it happened.

Appearance: slightly hazy, bright golden hued, nearing crimson, with a large, glorious, cloud-white, lace-leaving head.

Aroma: Ripe and rife with citrus fruit associations: orange and lemon and tangerine. Piney and pithy. Bold hop bitterness. Utterly lovely.

Taste: On the palate, it's bitterness blazing. Hop bitterness commands the palate, leaving traces of prickly pine and pungent grapefruit. Full bodied, full flavored, long, bitter finish. Just about everything you want in an IPA. Finished this growler with tremendous ease.
