Taste of this beer was of a strong hoppyness explosion with a subtle malt sweetness. Just a mixture of herbal, fruity, grassy flavors that just blend into one beer. A pretty decent beer, with a nice bold flavors. Not a beer that is that complex, but emphasizes what is great about the style without over exaggerating.

Want A Sixer
Never heard of this brewery, so I figured I would give it a shot. This was a pretty good IPA, even though I'm not a big fan of the style. I'm going to find more beers from this brewery to see what it is all about.
