A pale gold color, and stronly hopped brew, with a clean mellow white head. If you are a hop head this brew is for you.

This IPA is decent but somewhat pedestrian. While it avoids the hop craziness plaguing many brewers of this style and retains balance and drinkabilty, it perhaps errs too far the other way and is a little too bland. It's a pretty orange amber with a touch of haze and has a very robust head and it smells hoppy and sweet malty. It's light bodied and perhaps a touch over-carbonated. It's certainly very drinkable and a good choice to accompany spicy fare.

Appearance: Golden amber thin head and some lacing, not impressed yet. Aroma: What the hell is going on, is this the IPA here is it possible for an IPA to have no hops in the aroma. Well, I didn't want to believe it but yes this is the most sorry excuse for and IPA I have ever come across. Taste: Bland mild bitterness with some sweetness so dumbed down for the southern WV skiing town of Davis. Mouthfeel: In one word thin. Drinkability: It's a second cousin to water this beer pissed me off I took offense to it, how can one brew an IPA where the end product has no hop aroma.
