Tried to gush on me, pours a chill hazed amber with a thumb of cream colored head. Average head retention & lacing
S: Bready, grassy
T: Cakey, with dryness, plus grassy & woody hops up front. A little bit of pear sneaks in along with astringent bitterness, plus a little grassyness & a little caramel maltyness. Finishes malty sweet, dry with woody hops
MF: Medium body, restrained carbonation, skews bitter but not in a good way. Balanced out better as it warmed
Alright for the style, but something isn't right with the bitterness on this one

Copper pour, nice creamy head.
Nose is malt and actually chocolate.
Taste is delicious malty beer with underlying hop bitterness. The deep dark malt flavors are more cocoa than tea-like, although the latter is present...that’s just how their self-described caramel malts translate to me.
Medium feel and creamy-bodied, lower carbonation, even finish.
I like well-balanced yet malty IPAs and this is certainly one them.

Pours out a medium copper. Head is off-white. Retention is moderate with some uneven lacing.
The nose smells mostly of bitter pine up front with a good malt back bone through the middle. Simple but well balanced.
A little malty on the taste. Still though you get that straight forward pine hops bite. It leaves a substantial lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Could use more carbonation.
