Aroma Comment on malt, hops, esters, and other aromatics

Aroma intenso de lúpulo, que remete à lichia, laranja, tangerina, erva cidreira. Sutil maltado de mel e cereais e ésteres de laranja. Há uma sinergia de aromas que remete à doce em compota, que deixa o aroma menos "fresco", bem como uma percepção de pellet que prejudica um pouco o conjunto.

Appearance Comment on color, clarity, and head (retention, color, and texture)

Dourada, com baixa formação e estabilidade de espuma.

Flavor Comment on malt, hops, fermentation characteristics, balance, finish/aftertaste, and other flavor characteristics

Amargor alto, limpo, com bom suporte de malte. O final é seco, amargo e resinoso. Novamente o sabor de pellet aparece e prejudica levemente, isso pode ser em decorrencia de lúpulos de qualidade já não tão boa ou pH inadequado durante a fervura e/ou cold crash encerrado precocemente.

Mouthfeel Comment on body, carbonation, warmth, creaminess, astringency, and other palate sensations

Corpo médio, com intensa carbonatação que traz uma picância que limpa o paladar. Ligeiramente cremosa e sem adstringência. Há um sutil aquecimento que é inadequado, mas não chega a prejudicar a experiência.

Overall Impression Comment on overall drinking pleasure associated with entry, give suggestions for improvement

É uma cerveja muito agradável, um excelente exemplar das West Coast IPA, há apenas alguns pontos de melhora que são facilmente contornáveis. Tomaria essa cerveja o dia todo.
