Pours an amber color with a nice big mostly white head. Good lacing. Aroma was more malt than hops. Flavor was malty and had some decent hops. An easy beer to drink and pretty enjoyable, just not a world class IPA.

Aroma: fudgy, earthy malt. Orangy hops... biscuits, honey.
Flavour: pretty nice, mineral, dirt, fudge, hop bitterness, seed. Sappy & milky. Mild sweetness - dry aftertaste.
Palate: fizzy, chemical, slightly viscous, fluffy.
Appearance: boring, clear orange with pale yellow, frothy head.

Nice copper color with a big creamy khaki head. Aroma didn’t scream IPA - but instead ringwood. Quite a bit of butterscotch and caramel corn in the nose. There’s a slight backing of floral hops. Flavor features a touch more hops, mainly floral with a light trace of orange rind citrus. Fruity buttery malts are balanced to the hop, leading to a semi-sweet finish with a lingering combo of hop bitterness and butterscotch. Could be a good British IPA but the diacetyl is just a bit too over the top in this one.

Bottle, 355 ml - Copper colored beer with a thick off white head. Sweet caramel aroma with strong notes of hops and grapefruit. Hints of ripe fruits can be found. A hoppy flavor dominates, though hints of caramel and grass are apparent. An enjoyable beer.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine. Any beer dubbed "Brewer’s Choice" has GOT to be worth trying, right? Pours a small head with a tan rim and an amber color. Nose is piney hops and caramel maltiness. Flavors are similar to the aroma with more grassy hops and caramel with a crisp and smooth, slightly metallic aftertaste of green apples. Full-bodied with medium/high carbonation. A quite smooth drinking IPA. Not bad.
