Look: It pours golden and is fairly clear It has a white head with excellent head retention.
Smell: There are some citrus aromas with some earthen aromas and a bit of floral. There is low grainy sweetness as well.
Taste: There are citrus notes with an off slight cheese flavor. There is a bit of cracker and floral as well.
Feel: It has a medium light body.
Overall, the hops and malt just don't balance right for me.

I had a pint at a local watering hole and decided to fill a growler. Poured from a growler into a tulip glass. Has an interesting hazy orange color. Not much lacing. The smell for an IPA was average but better than most session IPAs. Taste was good. I would probably buy it again.

These local brewers have been plugging away for years but never really caught fire. This has a handsome dull copper hue with a wet, fading off white head. Lacing already apparent and the nose is grassy citrus ,light pine, and a little black pepper.
As a few other tasters have mentioned, the most noticeable characteristic is the dryness. It doesn't smother the mellow bitterness but definitely tempers it. Stiff, even mouthfeel accentuates the taste for me. If this was too thin or watery, it would be a serious problem.
Not as full flavored or drinkable as several session IPAs I've had, but certainly not a bad effort.

This beer falls into the "hop water" category for me. Poured from a can 3+ months ahead of the best by date. Solid malt presence and faded hop notes. Looks fine, feels fine, but overall not something I really enjoy. Hop profile is muted and there isn't enough going on here to bring me back.
