This incredibly well defined IPA slams the nostrils and taste buds with a kinetic buzz of fresh floral hoppage and razor sharp spring and summer fruit notes. A refreshing coolness engulfs the mouth upon initial sip, followed by an encroaching scorched earth dryness that fingers its way to the very corners of the cheeks. The cumulative effect of these contrasting textures is a finish that perfectly preps the palate for the next mouthwatering and cooling hop seasoned sip. Quite different from its hoppier sibling 'Pliny The Elder' and only a hair less impressive within its milder single IPA category.
