The beer pours a golden brown with an off-white head that sticks around for a decently long time. The beer has only a small noise of grass and light hop elements, a palette that expands considerably with the initial sip. The hops rise up in a nice crescendo, while there is a subtle sweetness that keeps the IPA from getting too bitter. The beer shifts and changes with each subsequent sip; further pulls will bring out hints of malt, pepper, and grapefruit. The last third of the beer allows the sweeter elements to become dominant, ensuring that imbibers are continually given a scintillating, shifting set of flavors. The Full Sail IPA would be a great introduction to the style for individuals that are not familiar with India Pale Ales, but the beer contains enough twists and turns to keep the most experienced hands interested.
