“Excellent beer - extraordinary balance between malt, hops, and the fermentation profile as well as the overall finish of the beer. Resinous hop character is very pleasant and adds a nice complexity to the beer. Would maybe just dial back malt character and sweeter finish to really elevate this to exceptional.”

“Solid IPA! Wonderful aroma of what seems like citra hops. Same for flavor which transforms from citrus/pine to a bitter grapefruit rind finish. Changing mix of aroma hops might benefit this beer and make it seem more unique. Also altering the water profile might help take the edge off the bitter finish. Overall an excellent beer.”
