Appearance: Pours a clear, amber body with a small, white head. Pretty much looks like their PA. Smell: Spicy toffee drops with a few drops of lemon oil. Taste: Sweet, lightly caramelly malts. Hint of lemon oil sprinkled with spice and table sugar (again, like their PA), though with a bit more spice this time. Medium bitterness lingers on into the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Strinkingly similar to their Pale Ale, just with a slight increase in the hops.

Bottle courtesy of kyzr: Pours a transparent copper bronze with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malt and some mildly grassy hops. Body starts with decent fullness and a light caramel sweetness with some big bittering hop balance. A decent IPA with a crisp finish.
