Can: Poured alight amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops undertones is pleasant enough. Taste is a mix of citrusy hops notes, light bitterness with some dry malt presence. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable standard IPA while not breaking any new ground.
