3.63/5  rDev -15%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

No enjoy by date on the battle.
Slow pour into a standard pint glass.

A: Golden with just a small tinge of orange, and very clear. About half-a-finger of light biege head that disapated quickly.

S: Citrusy and a little caramel sweetness. Very mild aroma.

M: Very light with some carbonation.

T: The citrus from the aroma comes through as an earthy and pleasant kind of citrus without much bitterness. A solid malt backbone holds everything together but is not that prominent.

O: A good brew, but more of a pale ale than an IPA. It is nicely balanced but does not stand out from the crowd.

Poured chilled in standard ale glass

A: dark orange; very little head; carb is good, but the bubbles are inert; little lacing
S: very hoppy, lively; aroma lasts quite a while; promises much in the way of hops
T: sweet, intense IPA; quite lively; strong in the finishing hops
M: viscous, thick mouthfeel

This is an amazing IPA, but to be had only on occasion, because of the intensity
