3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at the High Point brewpub on 2/3/08: Pours a transparent dark golden bronze with a well-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty pale malts and a touch of piny hops. Body starts fairly full with a nice malty sweetness balanced with fresh resiny bittering hops before a crisp bittersweet finish. A decent IPA and quite drinkable.
