This is a viscious looking IPA. Deep, dark amber, bordering on brown with a two finger dark tan head. The smell is hoppy, though not overly so, with some sweeter malts. I get a lot of strawberry as well.

This is very refreshing, and good. I might like it less if I hadn't just worked in the sun for 11 hours, but nevertheless, it is at least very drinkable. There's not a whole lot going on here. Not that I expect much complexity from an IPA, but this has about two flavors: some sweet fruitiness up front and some grapfruit bitterness in the finish/aftertaste.

Mouthfeel is good... Fairly light and well carbonated. Nothing too special here. The drinkability is fantastic, though again that could be due to my workday.
