I didn't expect to be wowed by ordering a bottle of this at my favorite pizza joint. I just wanted a decent IPA, nothing fancy, nothing overly malty and big... just a good ipa with some hops. This is exactly what I got. Some citrus notes in the nose ]and on the palate. Not a ton of malt, which I was hoping for since I didn't want it to be too big and filling with all the carbs I was getting from the pizza. Just a solid ipa without tons and tons of malt. Nothing to over analyze and critique.

Little aroma or hop flavor from this one. Tasted and smelled of earth, caramel malts, and little else, really. As for appearance, it's a clear dusky Amber with decent but not great head retention; not particularly unattractive. Mouthfeel is the primary redeeming quality of this beer as it is drinkable and properly carbonated. Overall, this could make a decent amber ale with some recipe tweaks, but not much going on as of right now. Wouldn't buy again.

Good enough IPA, but the aroma and flavor could have been more for the style.
