A - amber with a thin lacing of white head that has decent retention
S - bread, sugar, caramel
T - burnt toast, bread, sugar, caramel, earthy, spicy, piny
M - medium bodied, smooth, well carbonated
This is a great beer. It has an odd toasted malt character that was unexpected and off putting but on the whole it was delicious. It's well worth checking out.

Got this beer on vacation in Myrtle Beach. This is just OK. Pours a dark copper. Smell is faint grassy hops. Taste is caramel malt, peppery (rye) and grassy slight citrus hops. I taste a lot of Chinook hops I think. It’s somewhat clashing flavor profile for me. Not a great IPA.

A West Coast IPA. Reddish Amber. Very hoppy, but few aromatics. Very similar to Green Man IPA.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy deep orang amber/light copper color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, mango, citrus peel/rind, mint, wood, pepper, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt notes; with good strength. A bit muddy aromas. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, mango, citrus peel/rind, mint, wood, pepper, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, mango, citrus peel/rind, mint, wood, pepper, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 5.5%. Overall this is a nice IPA. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish, not aggressive. Classic tasting IPA. Centennial, Cascade, Fuggles. Nice juicy, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; nice dark/bready malt backing, with minimal residual sweetness from lingering dryness. A nicely enjoyable offering.
