Ever-so-slightly hazy. Copper-colored. Frothy head that lingers awhile. Pleasantly hoppy aroma, but it smells a little old or oxidized. Herbal and grassy. The flavor is pretty hoppy, as it should be, and it is well-blended with the mild malty sweetness. A solid beer overall.

Nice pour with a darker more amber color than most IPA’s. Solid off color head and nice lacing to the glass. Nice balance aroma of both malt and hops. This is a well balanced IPA that goes down quite easily but could use a few more hops to make it a great one. Overall this is a very good IPA and one that I have again..

Poured cloudy copper with tan head leaving nice lacing. Aroma of caramel. Flavor was sweet but hops balancing with fair amount of dryness. After a few sips the bitterness begins to become more apparent finally matching the style.

Amber pour with a small off white head. Aroma of caramel and biscuit malts. Flavor has the same caramel with toffee and just a bit of hops. Finishes semi sweet, pretty refreshing.
