<\/p>\n

Acquired this in a trade. Can\u2019t remember from who though. Too many trades in a month will do that to you. Stuck this IPA in the fridge. Poured into a Mikasa Tulip glass. 3 pounds of hops per barrel? Bring it on!\u00a0<\/p>\n

A – SRM of 22, dark amber \/ cedar wood appearance. 2-Finger light tan head, okay head lacing with a slow subsiding to 1-finger in height after 3 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

S – Awesome pine needle, spruce tip and ruby red grapefruit juice dominate the nose. Mild bit of candy malts on the back end. Hops are mostly citra with a bit of Amarillo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

T – This may have set a bit too long. Hop profile has faded a bit from 62IBU as stated on the bottle to about 30. Faded hop profile, mild cheese taste. Citra still dominating the flavors Lingering wood chip taste, no alcohol taste, there\u2019s a wee bit of orange juice taste but I\u2019m sure it\u2019s just the hops.\u00a0<\/p>\n

M – 50\/50 carbonation, medium body, lingering citra and columbus resin.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
