A: Traffic light amber.
S: That familiar New Belgium yeast spiciness with a dose of syrup sweetness.
T: A confusion of hops, residual sugars, and heatless chilies.
M: The hops pull the moisture out of the mouth, the sugars coat the tongue, and the small amount of capsaicin finds its way to the back of the throat.
O: What a disappointment. The Lips of Faith series is worth following despite there perhaps being more hits than misses. The familiar base is there but there's nothing interesting to wrap it in.
