Appearance: Billowing white head with good persistence, nearly crystal clear orange body, good lacing and nice rising bubbles. A good looking brew.
Aroma: Fruity Centennial hops, fruity character Intensity is OK but not great. Hint of malt sweetness. I don't get any yeast character. No sulfur.
Taste: I get some crystal malt sweetness and a bit of fruity hop character. Light dankness but more fruity. Bitterness at the end is moderate. Hop character increases as it warms. Clean lager character without yeast-derived flavors.
Mouthfeel:Thick body, moderate combination.
Overall: Wish it were hoppier and didn't have the crystal malt. The sweetness of the crystal kind of obscures the hop character. Next time, try not to use crystal malt in any IPL / IPA beer.
