Small Beer (Shipyard Brewing Company)

I shared a pint of this Portland IPA at the Pony Bar in Hell's Kitchen. The description on the menu was quite intriguing.

From the menu:
This beer is fermented from the second runnings of the Pugsley Signature Series XXXX Imperial IPA.

General Thoughts
Look and Smell: This was a gold-red....amber? It had plenty of lacing. I could smell earthy-floral-piney hops.

Taste: It was really smooth upfront then it was an explosion of hop flavor. It had a bitter and dry aftertaste. Very tasty. Made me want to try more Shipyard brews.
