3.55/5  rDev -2.2%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Color is a light amber with a small white head about a finger high and left some patchy lace but had no stick. Smell is floral hop and some malt. Taste is milder then most IPA's, its hop activity is a little weak. It has a good balance of hop and sweet malt thats drying and semi bitter. Feel is lighter to medium body with a good hop drying kick that holds slightly in the finish. Its an OK IPA, but would make for a better, mild like pale bitter or something.

3.65/5  rDev +0.6%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Presentation: 12oz. clear bottle (wide w/thin neck) with foil neck sheaf. Traditional blue and red label.

Appearance: Pale-amber with a fine lace of white head that leaves a ring around the glass.

Smell: Sweet malt and hop leaf aromas.

Taste: A well balanced malt and hop combination, mellowing out dry and light.

Notes: A nice, crisp ale that is somewhat refreshing. Perhaps a bit light for an IPA clocking in at 4.5% abv, but still a nice ale.
