Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass, sure we shall forego the nonic!
Really nice in this glass. Accentuating a bit more light and space, we got real nice ribbed hues of brown from dark ruby and light caramel, to a classic solid mahogany. Even with the darkness up to the light there is great clarity, and nice looking rich IPA like head. Topping with three rich retention full fingers of tan color and some big soapy lacing as it slowly settles.
Interesting aroma. Hop forward with soft tea like accents, and a distinct mineral like water scent. Light touches of toast brown bread, and more of a bigger sense of milk chocolate.
Palate brings some interesting senses. A little bit hair light bodied and flirting with wet consistency, and getting into session IPA territory. Speaking of IPA noticeable hop forward presence of pine and tea notes mixing in with a little touch of herbs. Seems slightly clashing and knocking out some of the nice chocolate malty flavor that is trying to peak out. Muted toast on the finish, but almost gets a boost from the hop bitterness and bringing out some of the toast by giving some extra dry-"ness".
Interesting take on a brown, but it seems like the hop addition hasn't really made the right impression and the base solid brown character can't make a bolder statement. Still there's solid flavor in here that can't totally be faulted.
