A: Hazy orange color. Poured a 2 finger white head that thinned to a thick, even skim. Decanted lightly. Laced in a few random patches.
S: A light nose; citrus and pine. No noticeable hop character.
T: Pretty much like the nose; very muted. Some bready malt character does peak through ahead of a sharp, clean bitter.
M: Light to medium body. Ample carbonation. Not resiny or coating. Sharp, dry bitter finish was about the best part.
D: Easy enough to drink. Not over-bearing and moderate abv. More like an APA than an IPA.

Pours a dark amber color, with just a little light tan head. On the nose this one is lightly hopped, somewhat floral, but not as much as I would have liked. On the palate, this one is somewhat similar, with decent floral hops, sweet malt and a lingering bitter finish. Not all that impressive, but passable.

Served on-tap in a 12oz pint glass:
Serves up a hazy orange with a thin white head (I am not sure if this was due to the pour by the bartender or not, but I am assuming that they know how to pour a beer).
The beer has a light pine hop aroma with maybe a slight citrus aroma as well. Simple, but good.
The taste pretty well follows the aroma. I certainly expected it to be bigger and a little more hoppy and complex, but it just was not there.
The beer felt light with almost a touch too much carbonation, but this is not really a detriment.
Drinkability is better than average, with a dry bitter aftertaste. Overall, it is a pretty simple beer with not a lot to say about it.
