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

Pours a crystal clear light amber with a nice white head that falls to a thin cap.
Aromas of tropical fruit, orange/grapefruit rind, light brown sugar.
Fairly hoppy. Lots of citrus rind and piney hops with enough honey/light brown sugar sweetness from the malts to keep it from being a total hop bomb.
Medium-light bodied. Hops give an oily feel but the carbonation helps keep the palate fairly clean. The hops do linger, but not for long.
Nicely drinkable. Very good flavors make this a nice drinker, but at 7% it would be difficult to drink all night.
A very good beer that I would recommend, but with so many American IPA's out there, it can get lost in the shuffle.

bottle to goblet

Appearance - nice big pillowy head that slowly dissipates but continues to cover the entire surface. solid lacing all the way down. perfect golden amber.

Smell - woodsy, musky perfume with a touch of spice.

Taste - the hops are not overwhelming but pleasant pine freshness and a citrusy finish. nice balance from first sip to the finish.

Mouthfeel - medium to heavy mouthfeel. has a nice chew on it but the mouth doesn't feel coated afterward. just a touch of carbonation

Overall - nice solid IPA. nothing spectacular but pleasant and highly drinkable.
