Canned corn and hay on the nose. Crystal clear amber, thin head. Grassy hay. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Well hopped, but not particularly fresh tasting. Better than macro, but needs improvement.

Their lighter pale ales are a little better than this IPA. Gold pour with ok head and lacing. Light bitter finish, with some sour mash. Not super hoppy, mostly because of lighter hop varieties. Tap at brewpub.
