look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.5

Appearance- amber in color and very murky in appearance, thick tan head remains for quite sometime, nice look,

Smell- the smell is quite faint, light hop and malt

Taste- very light hops and malts, nothing really dominate in this flavor profile, its not bad in flavor just rather bland,

Mouthfeel- light bodied with crisp carbonation,

Drinkability/overall- I can see why this beer is probably not widely made by dogfish its probably overall the weakest of any dogfish beer I have ever tried, its not that its bad its just incredibly bland and plain, nothing i would see myself buying if available cuz just so many more flavorful options out there

Serving type: bottle

Golden color, clear enough to easily read a book through. Big, soapy, off-white head that settles slowly; patchy, sudsy lace that slips down the sides of the glass. Aroma well balanced between bready malt, caramel sweetness, and fresh hops from the Willamette and Columbus additions.

Very nice flavor with good toasted malt character, moderate sweetness, and very fresh, complex hops. Mildly bitter, citric and herbal. Tasty and different than many other APA's. A bit more of an almost English hop profile, less West Coast vibe, no Cascade here as far as I know.

Crisp carbonation, almost a bit prickly, lots of life in the mouth. Medium thin body, lingers just a bit. Very fresh, very refreshing.

Serving type: on-tap
