Almost a full inch of head, light orange and auburn colors. A lot of bitterness, mild woody-pine notes in the aroma, very mild.
Taste was a bunch of caramel, and a small amount of hopping. Hope you like your ipa malty. And approaching "balance". I don't particularly.

On tap at the brewery (which has a nice location with a very nice view of the water). orange color. Aroma was boring, not very much hop aroma, sort of grainy. The flavor was not nice, i distinctly thought of cooked broccoli and cauliflower. I asked the waitress if they get any comments about how much better Tunnel Vision is and she gave a very political answer about not discriminating against beers but that's exactly what I am going to do. This beer sucked.

From BeerAdvocate magazine Issue #63 (Apr 2012):
LOOK: Hazed brass, sticky head
SMELL: Herbal, citric rind, earthy, woody, leafy, nutty yeast, Asian pear, spicy, fresh hay
TASTE: Smooth, citric peel, mint, hop bitterness, fresh grain, hemp seeds, toasted crackers, faint buttery yeast, walnuts, orange pith; dry, hoppy finish
One brewer’s Pale is another’s IPA, and this one lands on the opposite end of the spectrum from the highly hopped IPAs that beer geeks rally around. While this IPA might be flaunting a bit more malt than most, it certainly does not lack in hop flavor, which will at least keep your inner hophead content.
