Bright amber appearance with a large off white head and good lacing. Earthy aroma with a toasted malt edge; really quite pleasant to be able to downplay any citrusy aspects. Taste delivers on the floral, herbal quality of the hops along with some spice in the aftertaste. Add in a touch of sweetness courtesy of the malts. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated mouthfeel.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams Boston Lager glass.
Appearance: Pours a translucent, light brown color with a large, foamy head that dissipates quickly and leaves some nice lacing.
Smell: Buttery and surprisingly malty. Grassy hops come through in the background.
Taste: Slight bitterness up front. Develops a bit of sweet maltiness towards the back. Hits you right at the end with some grassy hops and leaves a pleasant aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: A bit on the light-bodied side but still not too bad.
Drinkability: A pretty decent IPA. Not as hoppy as most American IPAs but still very tasty and very sessionable. Certainly a pleasant surprise.

Pours a sunny straw yellow with a vast, lasting head. The aroma is mild and a little corn-like, with some light toffee. The flavor is light, refreshing, with some toffee, a little sourdough bread, and some sour-ish floral hops. The finish is a bit disappointing, since the sourness keeps building instead of a satisfying bitterness. But overall not bad IPA if you're not looking for something deep and hoppy.

12 oz brown bottle. No apparent date, just a bottling code.
It pours a clear orange/amber/gold with a fluffy white head that sticks for a bit and leaves some decent lacing.
The smell is very doughy with an overlying of English hops. English hops aren't always my favorite and here im getting a bit of a vomity/tomato scent.
The flavor is simple, perhaps a bit vegetal and herbal with the hops. Not too much bitterness although it comes through in the aftertaste. The malt is rich but not sweet, it has more of a grainy/bready characteristic.
It tastes pretty traditional, it doesn't get out of control with the hops. It has a pretty good mouthfeel as well.
