Looks good. Nice retention/lacing. Smells off, tastes off. Can't put my finger on it. Musty, band-aidy...something. I liked everything else from this brewery. So this is surprisingly disappointing. Hopefully just a bad batch, pour or a lapse in my senses.

Served on-tap at Al's of Hampden. Pours clear golden yellow with a one finger tall white head, quickly dissipating down to a light ring around the outer edge, leaving small webs of lace on the glass.

Smells of mild fruitiness and fresh grass from the hops, touch of green onion, light sweetness and some cereal grain. Taste is along the same lines with plenty of bitter hops up front slowly being joined by the light sweetness and bready grains. Smooth, bitter feel throughout lingering long after the finish.

Overall a decent IPA in an ever growing lineup of them. I would definitely have another.
