A fresh melody of pine and fruit hop boldness with a balanced aroma of citrus, pine and sweet bread. Light copper colored beer with dense bright white head, balanced piney & tropical flavor with subtle lingering bitterness. Malty sweetness is balanced with clean finish. Moderate carbonation & medium body, this is a bold yet flavorful and surprisingly drinkable IPA that is overall well balanced.
