Thin mouthfeel. Nice, full pilsner malt flavor. Crisp finish. Funky yeast flavors: not so much.

Pours reddish amber, head fades to lace quickly. Malt aroma and flavor, a little hop backbone. Finishes clean, an easy quaff. A robust lager.

I was looking forward to this year’s HiPA, I’ll have to look elsewhere for a spring IPA.

Bold name. Great label.
