Bottle thanks to fata2683: Poured a thick oil crude black with bubble brown head, not that there was a lot. Aroma is light but rich roasted malts. Taste is smooth with roasted malt, soft chocolate, very soft and silky finish. Alcohol is in the back but very well hidden.

Flavor: The taste is medium sweet, on the malty side, with a fairly light bitterness
Palate: This one is fairly light and drinkable on the mouth, it borders on watery
Overall Impression: This is a drinkable beer, but nothing too exciting. It was fine, but I wouldn't rush out to try it again.

Location: Draft at Ginger Man-Austin, 2/17/12
Aroma: The nose is mostly citrus hops, with some malts and honey notes as well
Appearance: It pours a cloudy orange color with a. White head and medium heavy lace
Flavor: The taste is medium plus bitter, with a decent malt backbone for some balance
Palate: Medium bodied, a creamy mouthfeel, the carbonation is average, and it finishes fairly dry
Overall Impression: I thought that this was a pretty solid IPA. It is fairly on target for what I'm looking for from this style, and it drank pretty nicely. They did a good job with this one.

12 oz bottle with lunch at La Condesa in Austin, Texas. The pour is a hazed orange golden with an off-white head that falls quickly. The aroma is wheat grain, light citrus, and a bit of grassiness. All in all, a pretty faint nose, though clean. The taste follows the nose, clean straight forward grain wheat, hint of lemon citrus, clean quick finish. The palate is light to medium bodied, lower carbonation, clean brief finish. Worked well with food, though lacked a certain amount of depth. Regardless, clean and tasty beer.
