Easy drinking. Slight hop. Could rip a few.

On tap at McGillins this past weekend. Copper color with a smallish head. Malty toffee and caramel aroma with a sweet bready earthy taste. A bit light in the hop dept for an ipa. OK to drink but I wouldn’t grab one again.

12 ounce bottle from the brewery. Pours a very hazy orange color with a medium sized white creamy head. Decent head retention and lacing. Citrus hop aroma with some maltiness. Well balanced with a bit of a faint peppery bite in the end. The taste is bitter citrus and slightly resiny hops with some toffeeish malts. Quite a lingering hop burn. Overall a fairly straightforward but good IPA.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy, light brown-gold with a strong, white head. Nice, hoppy aroma, with earth, grass, pineapple and some citrus. Flavor at first struck me as so-so but I have warmed up to it. Lightly sweet, with faint caramel. Not much citrus, plenty of earth and a dirty, bitter finish. With time, though, some grapefruit emerges. Not bad overall. Flavor could be a little fuller; perhaps its a tad thin. Overall, medium bodied with average, fizzy carbonation.
