Many thanks for absolutesites for this one....
Golden copper, almost orange in color with a full finger and a half of white head...sticks around for quite a bit w/ decent lace that slides back into the glass rapidly...very little remains on the side of the shaker glass.
Floral and spiced hops dominate the nose...very faint sweet malt in the background.
Bitter hops galore...reminding me of an English IPA more than the West Coast IPA's I tend to gravitate towards. Buttery toffee mixed in...and a hefty malt backbone keeping this one very well balanced.
Mouthfeel is average...definitely not too thin and the carbonation is where it should be.
I could enjoy a sixer of this in an evening no problem...very drinkable and a nice first for me from Full Sail.

Grocery Outlet has this beer for $3.99 a six pack. Don't think there's many beers that are maybe a little better for twice that price.

Appearance:
Light amber, clear. Medium rising bubbles. Small frothy head. Moderate head retention. Leaves a fairly nice lacing behind.
Aroma:
Sweet bready malts, some caramel, citrus-resinous hops, a little fruity.
Taste/Finish/Body:
Hop bitterness is medium, citrus, resinous, hint of woody. Malt backbone, sweet bread and caramel. Slight bitter aftertaste, doesn't linger too long. Medium bodied, soft, pricky carbonation, easy drinking.
Overall:
Just a basic American IPA, nothing really special, but good.

Nice IPA, just a notch above an excellent Pale Ale, but enough to be a IPA.
