Hazed, tawny russet, slim, but sure, sliver of cream-toned foam.
Mild aroma, lightly hoppy. Soft, perfumey, ...a hint of banana bread...or is it ginger?
Smooth and mellow on the tongue, tickling the palate with a lightly spicy hop attack. Resonates in the mouth, but not too big, nor bold, not a blast of hops, plenty malty, though. Medium bodied, neat, coppery finish. Plentiful fruit spills out, richer, riper grapes and berries, dark fruit galore. Creamy texture. I like it.
Easy session brew, this. Just enough flavor, but not too much. Firmly in the English style, and well-crafted. I can see putting down pint after pint...though, of course, I'd deep down be yearning for a bit more hop bite. That's just me, though.

Copper with shades of deep brown. Thin, creamy head that gives way to patches of condensed lacing.
Citrus and pine aromatics; lemongrass with some juicy hop oil. Bright floral aromas as well; just a touch of mustiness.
Strong, perfume-like pine hop profile. Touches of rough hop oil in and out of the sip. Mild fruit flavors: apricot, peach, etc. The hop character is intoxicatingly musty which reveals underlying wheat and grain flavors.
Medium bodied; dry, gaseous on the palate. At times, almost grainy.
A decent IPA, but a bit disappointing coming from a true genius of a hophead like DW.
