Homefront IPA

Pours cloudy, purposely, with three-quarter inch of slightly off-white foam. The head doesn't last but leaves residue sporadically along the glass through consumption. Aroma isn't as large as I expected. Led by a caramel, toasty malt profile. Spice and fruity hops are inside as well. Taste, similar to the aroma, doesn't really bring it. I don't get the maple at all. I can tell that the aging on wood has helped smooth out the bitterness as it is minimal. Refreshing but not ground breaking. Body is firm with a thick, almost creaminess. Carbonation is medium. Dries the palate. Nothing wrong with this beer, just not as great as some beers that Cigar City puts out. This makes me wonder if the price tag is warranted. I would have it again but the price scares me a bit. Enjoy!
