Poured from a bottle into a snifter glass over at Mark's place.
Look: An opaque apricot, almost cloudy, with a moderate but lasting head. Not necessarily visually appealing.
Smell: A slightly sour and funky aroma, not very floral or piney in the least. It was moderate in intensity and not super enticing.
Taste: I got notes of sweet fruit, pear, and low-AA hops, with some lingering bitterness on the tongue. Definitely a euro IPA with more of a funky fruity bitterness as opposed to the citrus of American hops.
Mouthfeel: It was pretty good, a creamy effervescent beer without reaching sparkling.
Drinkability: It's definitely tasty and chuggable, and not a taste bud overloader. I'm not a huge fan of euro IPAs, though, and this isn't an exception to that rule. I definitely prefer their Sunturnbrew barleywine over this.
