Commercial Description:
Named for mug club member and local jewelry maker, Angie Caldwell. English Maris Otter pale malt, English Crystal malt, and a blend of English and North American hops create this amber, hoppy IPA with just the right balance. Dry-hopped just before casked and currently served on handpull for the classic British pub feel.

Pours a light golden color from the tap at the brewery. Overwrought with black pepper on the nose and a bit flat to me. Probably my least favorite offering from The Livery.

On tap at the brewery. This hazy golden beer poured from a hand pull tap with a few white bubbles on top. It starts off chalky and bitter and finishes with malt sweetness.

Handpull @ the Livery. Pours a hazy, golden-orange color; minimal head formation. Solid of amounts of very soft, floral and citrus hop presence in the aroma; very resiny and soft, like dripping hop plants. Slight carbonation. Medium mouthfeel: chewy earthy and floral hop character upfront; again, very resiny and soft, but a touch under-concentrated and on the sweet side overall; I’d prefer to have tried this on CO2 instead; the light bubbles doesn’t add much here. Medium finish: earthy and citrus hops, very resiny, basic malt; definitely a soft English bitter character throughout.

Draft at The Livery. Poured a cloudy amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate yeasty sour hoppy aroma. Medium body. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. This is a drinkable brew.

<b>In short: </b>A bland lifeless blonde ale calling itself an IPA<br /> <b>How: </b>Tap at brewpub<br /> <b>The look: </b>Cloudy golden blonde body with a small white head.<br /> <b>In long: </b>Shy nose. Body is disappointingly watery. Dead carbonation and lifeless mouthfeel. Overall sensation of old peach and citrus fruits juice with a few bubbles here and there. Not an IPA but any stretch of the imagination. Ok so chicks know as much about hops as they do about auto-mechanics.
