FROM THE SITE:
FROM THE MOUTH: ALE: Tends to lean towards an IPA. Begins with a toasted malt flavor but quickly and I mean quickly hits you with a SPIKY PINEY hop. It finishes with a lingering bitter aftertaste. Not much else going on. I would say it is a bit heavy and serious to call itself 'refreshing'. It gets better towards the end- begins to balance out a bit more; perhaps it is the old numb tongue thing I have spoken about before- the IUBs seem higher because of the bitter, numb tongue thingy! I would have enjoyed a bit more citrus or some floral additions- the bitterness needs a friend. B+
