The appearance had a transparent golden amber colored body with a one fingered white foamy head that dies within about a half minute, light somewhat sporadic lacing tries to cling but slides a bit as well.
The smell seems like its bitter for the sake of being bitter as the hops that do end up presenting themselves seem caramel covered. Yes, I will say \"caramel flavored hops\" is what I’m getting and I’m not exactly sure how I feel about that, there is some light citrus on the back end as it warms a bit.
The taste, once again, its bitter for the sake of being bitter with a caramel malt flavoring trying to enter in, but kinda comes across in a somewhat bland way; no aftertaste but I do get a watery finish.
On the palate, it sat about a light to medium - actually closer to a lighter body to be honest. Carbonation presents itself not that harsh at all (hmmm...I do see this is a fairly newer beer on BA, but if this is fresh, its not presenting too many good AIPA characteristics), somewhat sessionable.
Overall, in my opinion, I would say there’s better AIPA’s out there. Sorry No-Li, I doubt if I would come back to this.
