This is very likely my favorite IPA. It is both bitter and buttery. Yes, buttery. The mouthfeel is a bit thick and oily for an IPA, but I think of it as buttery.

The floral, pine, and citrus notes of bitterness are not over-the-top but rather well balanced, juxtaposed against butterscotch-leaning malt notes. Excellent in all regards, when it comes to aroma and flavor.

This really is a wonderful beer and nothing I write about it can really capture its essence. It simply needs to be experienced.
