Copper with tangerine and cherry highlights. Small tannish bubbly head. long slender lacing.
Herbal and citrus, lemon peel. Toasty bready caramel backing. Hint of esterous yeast.
Hop juicy orange, lemon peel, bit of grapefruit. medicinal caramel and toasted crackers. herbal and medicinal in the aftertaste, pine, hemp, tea leaf. Not a big bitter IPA. Well balanced and good hop taste.
Smooth, refreshing, lively carbonation, slightly sticky and dry. med body.
Good, well balanced, not too bitter IPA. very drinkable. Good intro into IPAs?

Comes in darker than expected 3/4" head. The aroma wasn't really hoppy, was more of a tree that lost all of its needles or leaves.
Taste was real mellow, more like an English IPA if you ask me. Its totally balanced. Mirror Pond Pale Ale used to taste hoppier than this. Some mild citrus hop notes, but really a lot of malt to achieve balance if you're into that kind of thing.
