Flower Power poured a clear, amber color with a finger width off white head. The
aroma is clean with some light malt, but the real star of the show is the huge hopped nose with the cascade showing through
most prominently. The body has a real decent amount of malt up front with a light sweetness, before the
hops burst through leading to a quite hoppy, real dry lingering finish that dries out the palate. There
was some faint lacing left on the glass. Overall, this is a big IPA and I simply love it. The
beer is extremely well balanced and the malt stays on the palate when the hops start to take over rather than fading out.
The 8% is hidden by a big, bold body but the beer still packs a punch. This is an IPA that all craft
beer lovers should try.
