An I.P.A. (India Pale Ale). Light copper in color and brewed with Munich and 2-Row malts. Medium bodied with pronounced hop flavor and aroma coming from the unique process of dry hopping. A slightly sweet malt finish balances out the bitterness of this brew.

Location: 12 oz bottle from State Line, 4/13/12
Aroma: The nose is fairly sweet, some crystal malts, caramel, yeast, and a little bit of earth
Appearance: This bottle was a HUGE gusher! Once it finally settled down (which took a decent amount of time), it poured an unclear copper-orange with a big, thick foam of off-white head that leaves a lot of glass
Flavor: The taste is mid-plus sweet, malty, some light metallic flavors, ending with a light hop bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium, and it has a pretty decent drinkability, with a soft-to-average carbonation
Overall Impression: Only the 10th rater of this one, I personally hadn't seen their stuff anywhere before, so I'll assume they don't have a ton of distribution (maybe on within MD?). Anyway, this isn't a great beer, but it is a drinkable one. This bottle gushed all over the place, which was rather annoying, but the pour turned out to fine after that. Also, the hops are a bit lacking for the style, and what is there, is a little too metallic, but despite that, I still found something solid about this one.
6.3: 6/6/6/8/6
Draft, flight pour, at the brewery, 7/18/26 (middle in photo). Unclear darker yellowish color, off white head, moderate lace. Light lemon and herbal hops. Grainy finish. Simple, clean, easy drinking.
