Can at home. Aroma of malt, biscuit, caramel, pine resin, some orange, some grapefruit, hoppy notes. Flavour is light sweet with a medium bitter finish. Body is medium. Very malty IPA, not my favourite kind. However, as malty IPAs go this one is certainly drinkable.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is a ok hop with a large sweet caramel malt. Flavor is not as sweet as I thought and there is a mild hop but nothing that is really eye oepning. Finish is more of a english style malt. The hops have faded on this big time or it’s not overly hoppy. As a IPA this was ok but for a San Diego IPA this would be well down the list on a IPA you have to try.

Can. It pours clear amber with a decent white head. The nose is toasty, lemon, pomello, piney fresh, varnish and resin. The taste is bitter, piney, resinous, some alcohol boost, pithy lemon, tangerine peel with a short finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Simple, but pretty drinkable stuff.
