Historical Community Tasting Notes
Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)
A=Light golden with small head that fades rather fast, leaving moderate lacing.Very light for an IPA. Too light in color,H&L for the style. S&T=Hops do come through, with some good malt balance.The hops are there and noticeable, so it is very satisfying, maybe not the best IPA, but will satisfy any hophead and IPA fan like me. M=average IPA body.
Bottle at sunes - thanks. Clear amber - white head. Apricot. Fruity. Toasted. Exotic hoppy. Peppery. Orange. Citrus. Nice bitterness. Fruity. Nice.
Not bad. Very hoppy with rindy lingering. Opens up your salivary glands like biting into a lemon. Good offering.
