Clear, bright golden hue, lush and lasting head, pure snowy white, leaving lace.
Bursts of citrus and sunshine in the nose. Beautiful floral notes, lemon and lime, and, yeah, some pine tones, too.
In the mouth, a blast of bitterness that coats the palate, then softly takes a bow and slides back. Bold, bitter and brilliant. Crisp and delicious. Oh, this is good. I will drink this over and over again.
There's only the slightest bit of gobbledygook on the packaging: " Hints of pine and spruce. Clean malt and a crisp finish." That's all you need to know. And the clean malt really makes this one shine, for sure.
I demand to know more, so I went on the inter webs. Hops: Northern Brewer, Equinox, Centennial, Chinook, Nugget. Malt: Pilsner, pale, munich, carapils, crystal. All the right ingredients (comment mine). More info: "Available Year-Round. This lively IPA delivers a crisp and light malt body with ample citrus and pine notes from Chinook and Equinox hops. Inspired by the aromas and silence we experience when exploring the scenic pine forests just up the road from our brewhouse."
As I said, I'll return to this one whenever I get the chance.
