look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

Bright clear coppery amber color with a foamy off-white head that retains fairly well and produces some nice lacing on the way down.

The aroma is suprisingly malty, hints of biscuits and caramel with honey and citrus hops.

The taste is also a bit malty for an IPA, with toffee, caramel and honey notes before the piney, citrus hops kick in. Slightly sweet up front but dry at the finish with lingering but not overpowering pine resin aftertaste. Altogether nicely balanced with enough hops for the hop lovers but not over the top.

Medium bodied, smooth and easy to drink. Worth a try.

12oz bottle into a pint glass.

Pours a clear copper with a solid one finger white head. Really good head retention and just a little bit of lacing.

The aroma is a bit on the mild side but has definite garlic/onion notes along with some floral notes. A little earth and pine too but not much in the way of malt.

A big pine/garlic bomb on the flavor which I happen to love. With that being said, however, it fades way too quick leaving nothing but lingering garlic. Really no malt at all and quite one dimensional. Mouthfeel is very watery given the strength while bitterness is moderate.

Overall, a pretty run of the mill IPA that isn't really worth seeking out. Glad I tried it, though.
