Draft at PHX. Malt forward IPA. Medium amber pour, lightweight head. Aroma is light sweet malt. Taste continues with the malt theme, caramel. Nice feel.

Not much n the nose, malty, caramel... Maybe. Super subtle aroma. For an IPA I would expect more hops. Maybe an old batch. More malt than hops.

Appearance: orange in color with a 1/2" head. Some spotty lace develops.
Smell: a little floral and earthy tones are detectable.
Taste: caramel, some mango, orange, a bit of pine, and an earthy bitterness.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied beer. Crisp to start, less crisp at the finish.
Overall: a mild mannered IPA that is easy to drink and goes with any type of food.

First had at Networks Bar & Grill, Hyatt Regency Phoenix, on draft into tumbler. My first beer from Four Peaks, this is not an unattractive IPA, and has a nice, refreshing finish.

Had a pint at The Tavern Grille in Old Town Cottonwood, AZ with Da Boss for lunch today for $5.00.
Beer was served orange with a very nice white head that left some lacing behind.
Nose was of light floral hops.
Taste was very well balanced. Floral hops melded nicely with the caramel and pale malt base.
Feel was medium bodied and refreshing after a morning of hiking/playing tourist.
Overall a mellow easy drinking English IPA. Check it out if you are looking for a tame, subtle IPA. Four Peaks does the EPA and EIPA styles pretty well.

Burnt amber.
Very little nose. Some fruit.
Candied fruit and herbal back notes. Pine resin drenched in papaya. More malty-caramel than anything.
The most NZ English IPA I've ever had.
