Solid presentation, amber color that provides a nice glare. Strong hop aroma greets the nose then envelops the face. Malt presence is noticeable in a complimentary way. This is a great IPA, arrogant but not forceful.

Medium sized fizzy light tan head quickly dies to a decent lacing above a highly carbonated cloudy honey caramel colored beer.

Light roasted but definitely a roasted caramel malt aroma with some light hops rounding out the nose.

A carbonated light caramel grain malts taste with a light almost citrusy hops present as well.

A light dryish aftertaste with a bit of the caramel malts sticking around with this medium to light medium bodied beer.

Seems a bit over carbonated to say the least and whether this is the reason or not the malts and or hops tastes are to light.

I'm new to drinking IPA's, but this one is quite enjoyable. The appearance is a light orange/tan and holds a thin white head. This beer has a noticeably hoppy smell with a hint of citrus. The taste was surprisingly good to me. The initial taste is a bit citrus with a bite and the after taste is appropriately bitter from the hops. This IPA is not overly bitter like some of the others I have tasted. No complaints with the mouthfeel. Overall I'd give this beer a 3. As I mentioned, I'm new to IPA's and so far this is the first I've enjoyed. I would recommend this beer to a friend.

2.19/5  rDev -39.2%
look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 1.75 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2

Appearance: Amber colored and quite hazy. Long lasting, fine bubbled head, with lacing down the glass.

Smell: Clean, malty aroma, with a bit of caramel and toast. Moderate herbal, earthy hops wiith a touch of fruitiness. A odd tinny smell came in and out.

Taste: Sour, like it was infected. Some maltiness and hop flavor and bitterness. Sour, mouth-puckering aftertaste.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, with an acidic bite.

Overall: I held out hope that this would be a more restrained IPA, without "club you over the head" hops. And perhaps it might have been, but it would be impossible to tell given the sourness problem. Can't recommend this.
