caramel and crystal sweetness is taking over as the citrus naturally begins to fade, creamyness grows to be a sweet and creamy citrus malt beverage,

deyholla (4789) - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA - AUG 4, 2012
Half pint at the brewpub. Pours a clear deep amber with a tan head that lasts throughout the beer and laces nicely. Aroma has a good amount of earthy grain with quite a bitter pine and a bit of underlying grassines. Flavor begins with grassy and piney hops that are bitter in the finish with a grain backbone.

ChainGangGuy (4123) - Marietta, Georgia, USA - NOV 21, 2011
Appearance: Served during this fine afternoon a brunch a hazed, dark amber body with ¼-inch of white foam.

Smell: Aroma thick with citrus pith paired with grassy, steely hops well ahead of the small, skimpy malt notes of toasted grains and caramel.

Taste: Opens with a mild, lightly sweet hint of caramel candy accompanying the toasted malts with an edge of crunchy graininess. Firm citrus pith quality enters along with the rousing pop of bitterness. Gains some resinous grassiness midway, which takes over the taste and pulls you to the quite dry, bitter finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-light carbonation.

Overall: It’s an IPA alright.
