Location: 12 oz bottle at Max's on Broad, 5/3/14
Aroma: The aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, some pine hops, and bread/biscuit malts
Appearance: It pours a cloudy orange color with an off-white head and average lace
Flavor: Similar flavor component-wise, with a light sweetness and a medium bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, it has a smooth mouthfeel, and a clean, dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this one was a pretty solid IPA. I liked the way the components here all worked, and I thought it hit on the components of the style pretty well.

Medium length bitter and tangy finish of cracker, pine and fruity hops. Medium body. Meh.
