Color is deep amber and a little hazy, under a thinner white head with sticky lace. Taste is sweet and bitter, with a deep and delicious finish. Citrus and tingling notes throughout. Really simply fantastic. On tap at pizzeria uno hamilton, nj. Yes, i typed pizzeria uno again. Someone give the person with the craft beer fetish at uno’s a raise.

Scent of leather, centennial hops, fruit, and decay, visuals are a brilliant golden body with a long lasting white head, taste is begian sweetness, bananas, and biscuits, with IPA citrus, bitterness, and presence. Palate is drying, active carbonation, and creamy. Overall, a very good beer. I hope it’s regularly available, because I’d like to have it all the time.

Citrus aroma fills the room, deep amber body under a bright white sticky head with good legs, lemon zest and surprisingly bitter flavors for an IPA, highly bitter, zesty with a very long finish, overall, a complete winner for hopheads.
