Magna Carta liberates the American taste buds from the perverted notion of what makes an IPA. With a traditional noble hop regimen complimenting a complex British malt profile, this beer has a flavor to take down the crown!

Howler style from Liquor Shed.
A clear copper coloured brew with a small and soon gone head of foam. Surprised to see a bit of lacing.
The nose is really nice. Balanced notes of a pils like hoppiness and oodles of caramel malt.
The taste doesn't quite live up to what the smell promised. The hops infuse the spiciness and the malt brought the sweet but they're not all that fresh or vibrant to my palate. At least, not after the up front experience. The flavours all seem to mute themselves midway through and most definitely in the finish. That leaves me asking...what happened?
Light carbonation with the medium body in this case, works okay.
I think this IPA has somewhat of an identity crisis. Do I want to be an American or English IPA? It's stuck in the middle as in middle of the road. :^(
