Wow...what a horrible IPA. As someone stated, too much malt on the aftertaste. Tastes like a New Belgium beer and nothing like an IPA.

Poured from a 650ml bottle into my IPA Glass
A: Pours a dark Amber with a thin white head and pretty good lacing.
S: A woody hoppy nose .
T: Strong malts with a good hop bitterness.
F: A medium body somewhat of a sticky mouth feel.
O: To strong on the malts for me and somewhat sweet, good hop on the finish. A ok IPA.

L- Pours a light amber color w/ a finger length head
S- apricot, apple, sweet flavors coming from it.
T- apple, grapefruit finish that fades after a few seconds.
O- simple but smooth I enjoy this beer actually. For only 2.50 here in oregon it's a steal.

22 oz bottle. No bottling date info
Pours a golden-copper body with a slightly off white head. Good retention and lacing
Smell is pretty much malt forward. Bread with an applesauce thing. The smell is not very pronounced.
Taste follows this malt forward theme. There is a little hop bitterness. An interesting balance(or lack there of) having the malts so far ahead of hops. The funny thing is; I like it !
Crisp medium feel.
I don't know exactly what to make of this beer It's not a northwest style IPA or even really an American style IPA. But... I'm a sucker for beer and I did enjoy the malt forward taste. Will I have this one again ? Maybe...
