tap at festival - nice all around IPA - true to style, nice citrus notes. quite good

Can pour into shaker pint glass. Appearance is chestnut brown with fair sparkle, finger-width + head, negligible lacing. Aroma is Pilsner cracker malt without a lot of hop presence. Taste is bready, biscuit/cracker Pilsner malt without a lot of noticeable hops. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with sweet malty finish. Overall, this is not a complex beer and is misclassified--this is an APA, not an IPA. So, the malt-forward presence isn’t so out of place. This isn’t bad by any means, but there isn’t terribly much going on.

Pour Is a weird looking hazy tan with a large white head. Aroma is a little hops and a little malt. Nothing stands out to much. Flavor is about the same, a faint hop. This has way too much heavy malt presence for a APA. I don’t know what they were going for here. Not enough hops and too much malt.
