A: Pours a crystal clear pale yellow color. A white head forms, and rises to about a finger. Light lace is left behind. This has impressive clarity.
S: A melon, berry, fruity aroma. Pine resin, dank and lightly grassy in the nose. Enjoyable for an IPA.
T: Like the nose, lots of fruity characteristics. Melon, and berry specifically. Which creates a fruity sweetness, mixed with pine and grassy flavors. Bitterness lingers on. Nothing wrong at all here, for an IPA.
M/O: A medium body and moderate carbonation. This is sticky, resiny, and soapy. Which needs to be cleaner and drier for my lager tastes. Not hard to drink at all, just don't call it a lager.
This is a well made IPA. Though I'm looking for a much crisper, cleaner, drier bite. While I have had so called "IPLs" before, and even ones that I have enjoyed. This is why I don't usually gravitate towards the style. If the brewer didn't say this was a lager, no way at all would anybody even think that. To be fair, this is very enjoyable in the land of the IPA, but call a spade a spade.
