A vigorous pour yields a cloudy liquid with a huge off-white, frothy foam. Retention is quite good and becomes meringue as it recedes. Surprisingly little lacing.
Aroma is on the hoppy side with citrus hops dominating - clean though, not grapefruit, maybe pleasant orange. Everything else is muted and difficult for me to make out. Some caramel is definite.
Taste has a similar hop profile with bitterness building through to the end. Lasting bitterness is there but minor and just enough to let you know you are drinking an ipa. Malt is subdued as is the overall characteristics of the beer.
Light end of medium body with light carbonation. Feels a touch creamy at times.
Not an over the top ipa just an easy drinking ipa. The aroma and taste were both a little underwhelming. I like my ipas big. Also, my beer did have a bit of metalic flavor to it that lasted. Could it have been my dish soap? Enjoy!
