On tap at the brewpub the other day.

The beer pours a prototypical light orange amber color with good head retention and lacing. The nose is pleasant, consisting of some light sweet malt, pepper, a hint of earth and a touch of citrus. Flavors replicate the nose pretty closely, though I appreciated the dry, bitter finish in this West coast style IPA. Unfortunately, I didn't check to see the what the abv. was, but would guess it's in the 6% range (the website says it's closer to 7%, which surprises me). The beer didn't taste overly boozy, and drinkability was quite good. Mouthfeel was light to medium bodied, and I thought this beer delivered a considerable amount of IPA flavor.

Certainly this IPA isn't going to make anyone forget Sculpin or Stone IPA, but it's a decent, serviceable IPA. If I happened to find myself at the brewpub again, this is certainly a beer I could see myself ordering.
