A: Light copper/amber Nice enough Head. Good Lace.
S: Just sweet malt =(
T: Yo! Where the taste at? Over there? No. Over here? No.
Help! I've fallen for a marketing gimmick and I can't taste my beer!
M: Smooth like a watered-down IPA with a splash of amber ale thrown in for good measure.
D: High. Goes down like iced tea on a hot day. Since they've lowered the taste on an IPA they should lower the price.
Overall: If you like light beer, but want to look tough posing with a bottle that says IPA...this beer's for you! This is a 5-dollar beer with a 2-dollar taste. "deliciously intense hop presence without the bitterness"- WTF?!? The worst thing is that I believed that shit when I bought it. One and done with this mislabeled pale ale.

Comes in darker than expected 3/4" head. The aroma wasn't really hoppy, was more of a tree that lost all of its needles or leaves.
Taste was real mellow, more like an English IPA if you ask me. Its totally balanced. Mirror Pond Pale Ale used to taste hoppier than this. Some mild citrus hop notes, but really a lot of malt to achieve balance if you're into that kind of thing.
