look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Presentation: Poured into a tulip glass from a 12oz. bottle as pictured. No freshness date found.

A: Clear dark orange amber with a 1 finger light tan head. Moderate lacing.

S: Heavy malts and grains with hardly any hop aromas.

T&M: Hop bitterness. Slightly roasted malts. Grains. Medium bodied. Nice dry finish with a mild oily feel.

Very disappointing. This is more like a cross between a hoppy brown ale and maybe a bit of an English IPA, but on the bad end of the spectrum. Decent brew, but not much of an IPA.

Poured from bottle into pint glass

Appearance – The beer pours an amber-copper color with a huge white head that has fantastic retention. Over time the billowy head slowly fades over time to give a nice amount of lacing.

Smell – The aroma is a nice mix of sweet and hoppy. A sweet tropical fruit aroma of tangerine, mango, and papaya mix with some citrus hop aromas as well as a lighter earthy smell.

Taste – The taste starts out quite bready, with less sweetness then would have been anticipated from the nose. With the bready flavor is a lighter citrus flavor as well as a very light caramel taste. As the taste advances further the bready flavor fades some while the citrus hop grows stronger. With the citrus comes some earthy and pine hop flavors as well. In the end these flavors all combined to leave a citrus and earthy flavor in the mouth.

Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the creamier side with a carbonation level that is slightly below average. Both are quite nice for the hop and bready flavors and make for a good feeling brew.

Overall – A nice drinking IPA with a smooth taste and good feel.
