So this brew is from Flying Dog which is another Maryland brewery. They started out in Denver actually and their HQ is still there but their brewery is in Fredrick Maryland now. Go Maryland! This brew has a nice coppery color and is a bit hazy. There's a nice thick head that comes with it. Instantly I got aromas of tropical fruit, strong floral hops, citrus, and a bit of spice. Being an IPA you taste the hops right off the bat but they're not as prominent or strong as other IPA's. You also taste the sweet malt flavor, citrus, and spice. Nice and smooth with a lingering bitter hop taste but it is smooth and not overwhelming. The mixing of an IPA with Belgian yeast works here.
