poured into a pint glass at fridge temp (+/-40) and left almost no sediment. a - crystal clear and sparkling, light tangerine color w/1" creamy white head that receded slowly. s - evergreen forest (simcoe) and sweet, slight citrus and apricot, but mainly resinous pinecone hops. t - dry pine needle (chinook) and some bitter lemon, slight metallic aftertaste, but definitely all hops and resultant bite. m - not overly dry, but lacks much malty stick or resinous coating you might expect - perhaps overcarbonated as a little thin. d - not very balanced or complex, although the nose is terrific and inviting. makes a good session ale or compliment to spicy food. there are better all around affordable ipas (probably local), but this hits the pine hop ipa fix fairly well.
