Fairly subtle aroma, lager yeast. Maybe a hint of citrus.
Flavor is fairly banal, as well, with a harshly bitter finish. Same harshness I pick up in a lot of their offerings.

When the objective is to create an Americanized IPA as dry as possible to allow the hops to stand out more completely, the keen brewers of Tin Man turns to the every-steady, dry to the bone pilsner malt to provide a light cracker-like base and to let all of the fruity, floral and bitter glory of hops shine.
Ingot pours pale straw and very lager-like. A mild haze the only tell-tale sign that something's different. Capped with a fluffy white foam stance, the scent is scantly of grain and biscuit but bursts to life with under-ripened citrus, pepper, herb and tea. To taste, the supplicity of sweetness is of wafer-thin breadiness and faint honey.
And as the sweetness and crackery flavors dissolve, the middle palate is all about the hop cone- white grapefruit, under-ripened orange, lemon, grape and lime all seem on the pale and spicy side. Herbal with fresh-cut grass, herbal sassafras, freshly shaven pine and a bright verbena character is partly vegetal, sharply resinous and with those pepper Saazer undertones.
Dry and crusted in feel, there's an arid nature to the malt that evades any sweet distraction from the hops. However with the tepid support from the creaminess of malt and the sharper and slightly more astringent edges of the hops are tasted and felt. Regardless, the beer closes crisp, clean and spicy with a long bitter aftertaste of fragrant woods and grasses.

Appearance: Served in nice glassware at Tin Man Brewing’s restaurant/brewery. Lovely golden with pleasing white suds.
Aroma: Bright citrus. Subtle.
Taste: Citrus and floral hops, with a little bitterness at the finish. This light-of-body lager is really easy to drink and definitely a solid brew.

Definitely drinkable, but this beer's primary feature is a hoppy flavor that fades into a rather bitter, almost medicinal aftertaste. I would not recommend it even to the most adventurous hop-head.
