Cloudy amber,small beige head.Light citrus hop nose.Light malt fore,citrus hop mid.Long, medium hop finish. Good malt in back.Nicely balanced Not sure this is the same beer that Mcberko had, this was well balanced, not exactly a hopheads dream. Also this is a 5.7% American pale ale, not an 8% Imperial IPA

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours an opaque cloudy golden orange with a medium beige head. Aroma is very fruity, full of mango and pineapple, resinous hops, and just enough malt backing. Flavour is very dry and bitter, beginning with mangos and pineapple, then transitioning to harshly bitter hops. Finishes on notes of dry bitter hops. Me being a hophead, this is very nice, but I can see how this would be undrinkable to some. Extremely skewed to the hop end of things. Good stuff.
