Style: "Steel Hop lager" IPA
ABV: 6.8%
Sight: It pours a pleasant golden-brown that has a translucent cloudiness that fades as it warms. The head comes out a half-inch thick with an off-white color.
Aroma: A very strong caramel malt nose that doesn't let up throughout the sniff. There is an undertone of hoppy floral and citrus notes of pine and grapefruit. A little tingle of alcohol shows at the end.
Taste: Malt and dryness are the great upfront tastes that come through...A sweet caramel malt that coats the tongue with a thin clingy film. Orange and lemon are those citrus notes that I mentioned with the aroma. The citrus tastes bleed from front to back well...as the brew finishes with a tad tartness at the corners of the tongue.
Overall: A solid brew from a great brewing company. Malty goodness that has a nice hop presence leading to a creamy medium mouthfeel with a nice tart close. On a side note I love the creativity of not only the brew itself but the concept of the marketing for the Coney Island Line...the circus "freak" images and names add the the creativity of the brand.
Score: 8.7/10
