Appearance:
Cloudy orange-brown with a small 1/2 inch head that left pretty abruptly.
Smell:
Very hoppy with floral citrusy scents and a tad of alcohol.
Taste:
A hoppy-citrusy taste of tangerine sweetness with small blips of malts.
Mouthfeel:
A pretty bitter bite and kind of dry.
Last Sip/Drinkability:
Pretty good for a Double IPA. I could do this one again, especially under the ambiance of Silver Moon in downtown Bend. Prefect atmosphere for a beer like this!
