Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a red-brown color with a huge foamy orange-tan head that left excellent lacing. The aroma was sweet and yeasty with a fruity hop note. The flavor was bitter and fruity with an off medicinal notes followed by harsh tobacco. Very long finish. Medium body. Meh.

Look, I dislike IPA and if you love IPA, you need to try this, just reverse my numbers. Yes, listed as an amber but this local mouthcoating bitter brew is all IPA, some kindah IPA, maybe not black nor pale, but it is a darker IPA. Slight sweeter nose. Nice lacing. Big strong bitter hops are in yer face as soon as the tip of your tongue get in close proximity to this brew. Not as viscous as an impy IPA but it has the goodly impact. Not sure about an amber, probably more than an amber, more like an IPA, in session and long bitter lasting finish as well.
