Can: Mild dandelion bouquet. Shimmering amber, thin head. Ash, with a touch of DMS. Finishes with wormwood and walnut. Thin, but flavorful and sessionable. Surprising complexity and interesting nuances.

Can: Honey, caramel, and pine aroma, malty. Murky ochre, thin yellow head. Full body, a little hot. Piney bitterness, honey underneath, kind of muddled. Grapefruit peel finish as the maltiness fades away. Tasty.

Pours deep amber into an English pint. Off-white micro head with good retention recedes leaving sheet lacing to coat surface. Sour caramel aromas. Soft with sour caramel and resin front to back and into the lasting earthy finish.

Location: Can at Monkey Bar in Philthy, 11/16/13

Aroma: The nose is grassy and hoppy, some pine, earth, citrus, and a hint of butter
Appearance: It pours a heavy golden-amber color with an off-white head
Flavor: The taste is pretty nice and hoppy, but then that buttery malt flavor kicks in
Palate: The body is medium, it has a pretty nice feel, and drinks really easily
Overall Impression: I thought this was a good attempt at an IPA with some nice hoppy components to it, but there's a bit of a buttery malt flavor that just really hampers the quality of the beer overall.
