Sweet malt and desserty fruit aromas make for an appealing, if not typical IPA nose here. On the palate though, concentrated no-nonsense citrus bitterness leave you with no misunderstanding that you're drinking an IPA. There is an even Bière de Garde like friendliness about this beer that leads me to believe it would pair easily with a Smörgåsbord of foods - not a common quality among IPA's and something to keep in mind for sure.
