Debatable about this one being APA or IPA in flavor profile and ABV/IBUs. Somewhat light-bodied for the style. Some bitterness is there, but bready malts as well. Solid, but not great.

Bottle from RobertDale - thanks. Pours a clear copper with a fluffy beige head. Aroma is mild with bready malts and modest floral hops. A little citrus and caramel come through in the taste with more floral hops. Medium intensity. Nice.

Bottle - average size foamy head, medium copper color, nice piney hop aroma and flavor, fair malt backbone - not the strongest IPA in terms of hops, but not bad, pretty well balanced

12oz bottle poured into lager glass
Aroma: bread,coffee, earthy
Appearance: copper orangish red. clear and less than 1 finger head that faded quickly
Taste: medium bitter, lightly sweet
Palate: bitter finish. medium body, thin texture. lively carbonation
Overall: Though this was an APA but turned out to be an IPA. way too much bitter for me. decent amount of flavor but most came from the bitterness.
