Taster
Lots of malt character for this IPA, which is a nice change of pace. Not sure I'd get a full glass of this. Almost has a bit of a chew on the finish.

Definitely a step up from other pale ales. Good bitter notes and more deep golden than straw colored.

So worried this was gonna be a mouthful of beer ish perfume... Like a sorority girl drunk on a half case of Beast. But no, this beer whispered elegance & subtlety. It's malts and lavender caressing sweetly in a glass.

This is always a crowd pleaser and this brewery nailed it. There were a bunch of folks ordering this while I was working my flight.
