Poured a copper-brown body with minimal head and lace down glass. The aroma is grassy and herbal with hints of malts. Smooth drinking beer, real easy to drink, still get a good grassy hop bite so not watery and the finish is crisp and clean. Not most flavorful IPA but one worth trying especially if you want something lighter and even sessionable.
