4.1/5  rDev +7%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Arrives at the bar clear and copper colored with a modest head that leaves a few shards behind

Smell: Grapefruit and orange peel, with hints of caramel and maple

Taste: Caramel and orange peel forward, with grapefruit adding bitterness to the middle; maple sugar tones appear, after the swallow, with an oaky finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: An interesting twist on an IPA with the maple sugar character

3.51/5  rDev -8.4%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
A: Clear, amber, but with a thin head that faded and left little lacing.

S: Hops dominates, as expected, with citrus and floral aromas. There's also some bready aromas in the background.

T: Moderately sweet malt, with biscuit and grass notes. The hops takes over quickly, and although there's a hint of tart, citrusy flavor, it's mostly one-dimensional bitterness.

M: Fairly thin on the palate, and carbonation is anemic. There's a faint hint of booziness, and a touch of dryness in the finish.

O: Not a bad beer, but given the number of really good IPA's out there, this one's not worth revisiting for me.

A solid, well-balanced IPA that honors the troops with an intense citrus hop bite.
