My Bottom Line:
This stereotypical American IPA launches orangey Cascade hoppiness onto a well-rounded body until it is sealed by its wooden, resinous hop bitterness.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam laces atop the light amber.
-While the base malts were pleasantly supportive, they did not offer a lot of flavor.
-The end result was balanced and very drinkable.
-The hop presence throughout is diplomatic.
On tap at the brewpub.

Served on draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear copper color with a large creamy off-white head. Good head retention. Aroma of citrus hops and faint pale mats. The taste is citrus hops, pale malts. Medium bodied, slight lingering bitterness. Decent.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
In short: A soft entry level IPA.
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Clear orange golden body topped by a small off-white head leaving good lacings
In long: Nose has basic leafy hops. Taste is toasted white bread, some caramel, candied citrus fruits, some oranges, dry tree leafs. Overall very soft. Low bitterness level. This is NOT a hop bomb. This is well brewed, refreshing but also very forgettable. This brewpub doesn’t do it to me, but it does have many fans. All of them hanging on the ceiling.

Growler. Poured a fairly clear orange-gold color with an almost white head. Bready malt aroma with some light floral hops. Floral hops and malt mix for the flavor. Citrus rind bitterness goes for a long time. Light-medium body with a dry finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Coddingtons. Arrived at the table a clear coppery red with a medium white head. Pleasant aroma of citrus and some very light pine along with some caramel. Flavor is very much like the aroma. This beer is a typical east coast IPA that is very drinkable and doesn’t try to overpower your taste buds. Good stuff.
