Strong hops aroma right off the bat. Nice head, great caramel color. First sip hits all the right spots. Hoppy and bright but not overbearing. Good body, good fizz, a lingering pine finish but not especially bitter. Once again Lucky Bucket achieved their goal by creating a beer that is full of flavor but not too heavy. This beer is clearly an IPA, but it's the kind of IPA you enjoy even more on the beach and one that you might offer to a non-IPAer to show them the delights of this exceptional style of beer. It's less hoppy than the aggressive American IPAs, but richer and more carbonated than your typical British Indias.

If you love IPAs you will love this beer, and if you didn't before you just might after 2 or 3 of the Lucky Bucket.
