3.94/5  rDev +5.1%
look: 3 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Golden yellow body with a decent head and lacing. Marked down a bit due to the cloudiness.

Smell: Citrus hops dominate the nose as you would expect from this style.

Taste: An initial bit of sweetness is quickly overtaken by the bitter citrus from the hops. The hops are nicely balanced by the malty backbone. Unlike some American IPAs, this one is not overly aggressive. While it might not be to the taste of an extreme hophead, I found it very pleasant.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and nicely carbonated.

Drinkability: This is a nice IPA and shows the capability of the brewer to produce a flavorful, hoppy style beer.

My compliments...a session brew!!
Dark golden colour with a carbonation that is almost non-existant.
The body is full with a very light island lace and glass ring.
Glass cling is heavy full and amazing...worth the price of admission alone.
The taste starts with the hops and ends with hops in a very big way... with evidence of the malts lingering in the background, but as a minor.
Very nice.

2.83/5  rDev -24.5%
look: 3 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3
Appearance: Beer arrived in a frosted mug (ugh). It was a golden / orange color with a slight head. The head formed some lacing on the glass during the drink.

Smell: a very tiny aroma of some hops was barely detectable.

Taste: this seemed overly sweet and not very bitter. Some bitterness lingered on the tongue but quickly disappeared.

Mouthfeel: Very thin bodied, and not what I expected for an IPA.

Drinkability: I think this is brewed to not offend the large macro drinking tourists that fills the place.
