Flavors are of roasted malts, spicy hops, coffee beans. Medium body, thin mouthfeel. Mot my favorite offering from Duclaw.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Reviewed from notes.
Pours a moderate copper color with a white head and a bit of lacing. The nose is some light citrus and pine hops plus a bit of pale malt. The taste is mild bread without too much hop bitterness. A bit of citrus makes its way through. Pretty decent balance though the hops are not enough. Easy drinking but not terribly flavorful.
Serving type: on-tap

Nice, easy drinking IPA. Nothing too special but it hits the points. Citrus, light pine, some malts, and a real light herbal tone through it. Medium bodied. Not too bitter but it has just enough to make it drinkable and refreshing. Doesn’t stand out but doesn’t step back, either.

Draft at Fells - Orangish copper, lightly hoppy nose, some citrus, flavor is light malt, with some pleasant citrus and grassy hops in the finish. Decent
