Malty bread aroma, earthy and herbal, with a faint underlying citrus smell. Sweet peach and fruity flavors start things off. Not really bitter in the slightest. Next up, some spicy black pepper and flowers dance together in harmony. Yeah, I know, pretty unbelievable. But it's true. I'm a witness.
Creamy smooth. Lavender, flowers, bubble bath, very interesting. Orange jam on toast right at the end. Thick body and chewy. Excellent flavors. Dry finish with a light feel from the 7.5% alcohol. What was really missing for me was bitterness. Any bitterness. This IPA actually leaned to the sweet side. A little more hoppy citrus or piney play would have cut the body nicely and refreshed the palate in the way I was hoping. That said, this was enjoyable and different and flavorful. Nice job.
