slight floral hop aroma, light ale with a touch of lingering bitterness, more of an esb than an ipa, not much character at all

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of florals, fruit, and maple syrup. Nice balance of hops and malt with a hint of corriander.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz. bottle. Pours a beautiful hazy orangey amber color with bubbly but thin off-white head. Aroma is full of malts and citrus notes. Flavor is a bit sour, and maltier than any IPA I’ve ever had, I think. However, the hops have a definite presence as well. Tastes more like an ESB to me than an IPA, but its unique and pretty drinkable. Overall, not bad, but not great.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
reddish-bronze color, weak head....little stamina. Very floral aroma. Taste was hoppy and peppery on the tongue. Nothing super original, but a well made WCIPA for sure!

rather sweet initial taste that develops some hop character towards the finish. mellow and malty compared to most IPAs buty still a good drink.
