Handwritten notes: Wow. Nice, lighter than I would have expected, but just as bold... Very obvious fruit flavours - banana or pineapple... Second sip - pineapple big time... spicy and bitter (just luscious) but finishes well with a sparkling bite. Yes. I am a sucker for IPA and this may be the best American beer I've had so far.
