Pours clear copper with a frothy white head that shrinks into a glaze of white foam. Good, thick lacing. Less-than-impressive nose. Sweet but metallic aroma of grass and honey. Sharp, crisp mouthfeel. The taste is interesting. Expected peppery hop profile with a pleasant citrus back. Heavy malt character, somewhat caramelized. Leans into an APA in this regard. Metallic, crystal malt finish. I swear, if this didn't say "IPA" on the label, I would say this is an APA, or at the least, a malty XPA.

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.
