12 oz bottle into my Lil Wayne pint glass. The go to pint glass.

Gold color, most of the head dissipates, not much lacing left.

Floral hop smell, some sweet laffy taffy type smell. I might be too far gone to be reviewing this but that’s what I got from a cold bottle from the fridge. It goes away after warming for sure just leaving a hoppy smell.

Not much hop flavor popping in my mouth that I expect from an IPA. Good but not all too exciting. Fairly malty.

A good beer for sure but its lacking as far as IPA’s are concerned.

Glass: Samuel Adams Perfect Pint.

Appearance: Perfectly clear pale yellow to pale orange. A finger of soapy bright white head is produced from an aggressive pour. Lacing sticks around beautifully and helps the rating here.

Smell: A bit of piney and citrus character, but overall relatively mild in smell. Nothing offensive, but nothing too exciting.

Taste: A bit of bitterness, with a relatively strong floral character. A bit of a "soapy" character in there as well. Malt is pretty balanced.

Mouthfeel: Medium body with high carbonation. A slight oily texture.

Overall: This one is not bad at all, but certainly nothing special. It is pretty balanced, if that is what you like, but the floral character is not for me. Wouldn't buy this one again, but I wouldn't turn it down, either!
