Draught at Abbey Brewing Company Miami Beach, Florida. Pale amber. Fruity apricot and melon aroma. Dry with clean mouthfeel and medium body. An odd, dusty near smokey flavour disturbs the grapefruity hops. Long. salty, bitter finish.

Brick amber colour. Has a tropical fruit hoppiness in the nose with a light toasty malt character. Blueberry and cantaloupe taste with moderate bitterness and a malt character mixing caramel and toastiness.

Draft... Clear golden ale with a small, fizzy, white head. The aroma is of toffee, subtle grapefruit and mild evergreen. The flavor offers sweet toffee and biscuit with light grapefruit bitterness. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with stinging carbonation. Bitter-sweet, grassy finish. A good English IPA confused by PNW hopping.

My Bottom Line:
Sweet orangey hops are cleanly dissipated into a timid, grainy finish in this surprisingly feeble American IPA.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A quasi-absent nose for an American IPA is more than disappointing.
-A ring of foam surrounds the light amber.
-Some resinous hops remain approachable.
-There is a much better American IPA example at Titanic Brewing, near the University of Miami.
-After reading other ratings, I wonder if this beer varies considerably from batch to batch.

On tap at the brewpub.

on tap-pours an off white head and gold? Color. Aroma is faint hops. Taste is hops bite, medium malt, close to crossing over to APA. Good carbonation. Easy drinking IPA/APA.
