Clear, bright golden hue, slim ivory head. Looking right for the part.In the nose: sweetness, bitterness, fruit. Many citric notes. Grapefruit and orange, with a touch of tropical.
In the mouth: Fruity, juicy, and pleasantly bitter. Big, bold citrus. Resinous. Lightly piney. Medium bodied, easy drinking, for the hopheads among us, of course. A little touch of malt at the base, but hops are the main thing here. Balanced in just the right way.
I don't know if this has become apparent, dear reader, but I like a good India Pale Ale, and this one is one of them.
A balanced American IPA with a couple classic "C" hops as well as a couple newer varietals. Golden Promise and Vienna malts lay the base, with just a touch of wheat and oats for body and complexity. Hopped in the kettle and fermentor with Cascade, Centennial, Citra, and Mosaic.
