Pours clear and a brilliant orange color, very reminiscent of an autumn leaf. There is about a half finger of head that dissipates quickly. The nose is distinctly hoppy and has a hint of grapefruit. There is certainly a hop presence to this offering, but not enough to rate it as a top tier IPA. Nevertheless, the bitterness on the finish does appear to get a bit stronger during the second half of the drinking experience.

This is a refreshing effort at creating a sessionable IPA. Not extraordinary, but solid.

Has a moderate sized off-white head with a clear amber color. Head has very nice retention. Leaves moderate/heavy lacing. Has a bready, caramel malt smell. Not much hops in the aroma.

Tastes of caramel malts, rye bread, roasty, and toffee, with a bit of hops. More bitter than you would expect with the minimal hop presence. Has an average mouthfeel with moderate carbonation for an IPA.

Drank from the bottle; it's the first time I've had this beer as my taste for ipas are growing by the year. Appearance is a medium to full carbonation with a head of about an inch that settles to an 1/4 inch. The smell is a nice balance of hops to yeast. As a former baker I adore the smell of yeast! The mouthfeel is a subtle balance of slight carbonation hops and sweetness. Overall a really good beer that I would drink again and recommend to others
