• Style: IPA

• ABV: 6.5%

• Pour Color: See thru golden color

      This is one of the few IPAs that the face poured that was perfectly golden. A slight low head on this beer, and slightly murky, the light still makes it through. The scent, as the face lifts it, is hoppy and slightly malty sweet scent. The taste of this one is a nice malty IPA taste. More of that biscuit flavor to the malts then most IPAs. This one really was a delicious malty IPA that had bitterness and sweetness that blended well.
      This IPA is much more malty then most. It also has a nice hop character too. One of the few IPA's I would describe as ballenced and still give a 5 star rating. With that biscuit taste this one is so delicious but still has that citrus/pine flavor that a IPA should have. Really this mustache loves this one!
