Elysian Brewing's Savant IPA

  
    Pours a hazy dark orange color.  Almost a shade of red at its heart.  About a finger of slightly off-white head with big bubbles.  Drained to a nice skim.  Getting tons of tropical fruit in the aroma.  Lots of mango and a little bit of citrus.  A little pine.  Little spicy and maybe just a hint of alcohol.  Actually getting a decent amount of malt.  Has a strong caramel and bread background.
     Definitely getting lots of mango and peach in the taste.  A little resiny and oily.  Some bready malt that is just a little bit of toast.  Finishes smooth; not too bitter.  Tropical fruit flavors linger in the mouth.  Light body.  Medium carbonation.  Good stuff.
