Ruby pour with a thin head. Malt up front and hops in the back. Decent mouthfeel. Not the best brew but its serviceable.

550ml bottle: sweet caramel malty start, bitter oaky hops aftertaste. I usually find the bitterness overpowering in IPAs, but in this one, I found the tastes to balance each other out pretty well.

550 ml Bottle: Poured a golden brown color. Small head that quickly dissapeared. Sweet hop sent to the brew flavor is remarkably mellow.

550 ml bottle. pours black tea coloured with a small white head. malty aromas of sweet caramel and traceable hops. flavours are thin malt with tiny hop roundness. a well put together palatable beer but nothing special and i wont buy it again unless in a pinch. it doesnt help that i had my homebrewed EPA right after and mine blew this one away.
