Had on tap at the brewery. Seems like an experimental brew gone wrong. Unbalanced and harsh with some really unpleasant taste sensations. I did not finish it.

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a medium to dark coppery amber with a nice one finger khaki head with great retention and thick lacing, looks good. Aroma dominated by grassy and dank hops with a background of lightly caramel malt, light citrus; spicy. Flavor is mellow bready and caramel malt, moderate grass, hay and slightly dank hops. Finishes moderately bitter with residual caramel and biscuit malt. Medium bodied. A laid back IPA by West Coast standards. Lots of hops flavors, but they are somewhat subdued. Quite malty, almost like a more intense English IPA. I'm a big malt fan and found this to be a pleasant IPA although not quite to style. Although mostly an IPA style malt base, there is a pleasant almost porter-like quality to the finish. Wouldn't pass it up, but probably wouldn't seek it out either.

Poured from 16oz tall can into a pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown-orange hue with a very light haze and a moderate effervescence. Head is a finger of frothy tan foam. Pretty attractive!
Smell: a little bit musty with a citrusy and dank hop character. Not bad, but unsophisticated.
Taste: much like the aroma, there's a dank and citrusy wet-hop character here that reminds me a little bit of homebrew. It's hard for me to describe this another way; it's not necessarily a bad thing, but the overall impression is that it's kind of an early attempt.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess for the style. I like it.
Overall: as I said, decent but unsophisticated. Pretty drinkable for all that, though.

A: Poured an orangish copper color with a moderate white cap which resedes within moments leaving some small white bubbles and spotty lacing
S: A big Earthy note with flowers and whiffs of citrus.
T: Immediately I notice this IPA is different. A fuller beer with some immediate caramel, hop bittering-like lingering bitterness that just hangs out in a bad way. There is a Earthy, wood and ligh smoke undertone to this beer which overrides the faint citrus and floral notes. The finish is dry, pungent bitter that reminds me of metallic but I know its not but it provides the sensation of what I think of putting a penny in my mouth like feel and bitterness, clingy and almost unpleasant
M: Medium bodied but this beer feels like it just has lots its carbonation, it feels flat and heavy. The bittering and Earthy, caramel blend on this beer just hangs out.
O: The choice of hops in this beer may be its biggest downfall. It also felt poorly attentuated. Just to clinging, full and lack of feel or pop on the mouth. I really struggled on this one but half way through I surrendered and left. I did not finish the pint, could not.
