A light honey-colored brew with some fine yeasty cloudiness. Pleasant light-malt and hop spice aromas. Flavor is very nice. Good light sweet malty start with a good hop presence. somewhat bready, but not too sticky. Some pine, some floral. Mostly spice. Lingering breadiness. Not bad overall.

draft - Pours hazy orange with a long lasting off-white head. It has a citrus hop aroma and a corresponding flavor with nice grapefruit notes. There’s also a good malt backing and this medium bodied brew finishes with the expected lingering bitterness. It’s quite good. I don’t really understand the low ratings.

Directement sur place. Verre de dégustation provenant du fût, 10 :00 AM. Version à 6,0%. Encore une fois la bière est cuivrée avec une touche plus pâle que la Amber. La mousse est compacte. Le nez est frais avec des arômes d’agrumes provenant des houblons Cascade. Le malt est peu présent. La bouche est légère, elle est agréable et facile à boire. Les arômes sont classiques de APA. Sans prétention.

Smells very hoppy but I’ve tasted many beers hoppier than this. Overall though, not a bad IPA. Nice amber color to it. Also, it has a bit of an alcohol kick at the end of each mouthful, which is odd for a 5%er.

Golden copper w/ decent lace. Not overly fragrant but floral & hop hints. Medium-thin body. Malty & fruity (grapefruit), with dry, bitter, musty? finish.

Cask at Flatbread.
Orange-brown with white head. Earthy, floral hops in the nose, and grassy, floral, subdued hops in the flavor. Smooth.

Thick, pillowy head on an extremely light, tawny body that leaves cirrus tracings--explosive, effervescent, like dragon’s breath.... what to make of this? Active and aggressive... Hops, yes: light and fragrant, and pleasing... FLAT as an IPA gets (and the rest of the sampler is fine), with straw and some fruitiness exist in the beguiling body... light and soft on the tongue--very unassuming, almost retreating in its presence--and that is not a compliment...overall, an average appreciation of the style--drinkable without the fanfare of spruce trees or crunchiness at every sip... not bad...

I am shocked at how low this beer scored. I thought it was pretty good. Its appearance is great. Nice deep amber hue with a tall off white head. Piney hops and a mild finish. This beer is well balanced with a lighter hops flavor than I usually look for in an IPA but it was still a good drinking beer.
