Pink color. Fruity aromas and flavors of fruitcake, lemon custard, grilled citrus and romaine, and Italian herbs with a supple, vibrant, finely carbonated, fruity medium body and a warming, elegant, long finish with notes of grapefruit marmalade on toast, peppery greens, mincemeat pie, and parsley root. A fun, flavor jammed IPA with a great balance of fruit and hoppiness.
