An all around good brew, but I was hoping for more Brett character.

Look: devoted head retention propped above a mellow golden orange body.
Smell: citrus hops becalmed by toasted sugars and peppers. Christmas cake, gentle lemon marmalade, and non-astringent pineapples wrapped in a wheat embrace. Sloppy, lackadaisical cereals chew gum and apply thin layers of nail polish while pondering whether or not to head back to work. Some inhalations drawn in a musty, leather bound alcohol.
Taste: lemons and unripe mandarin oranges threatening pungency but retreating into the friendliness of sweet flowers. The funk is quite tame, more of an early Sunday morning memory of funk than a Friday night full funk-out. Latent sugars and little licks of slick leather immediately precede a concluding dry, mouth-cleansing finish.
Aftertaste: a medium muscled bitterness lingers at the rear of the articulatory system.
Feel: smooth to the extent that the loveliness nearly slips back out through my lips.
Overall: a creamy, urban IPA courting a quaint country saison.
