I have six mixed sixers in the beer cellar made up of beers that I didn't like that are ready to give away. It looks like I may be adding to that with this beer. And yes, I know I shouldn't be washing down these chocolate chip cookies with it, but my experience with this brewery is that it can't hurt.
Pours a clear amber with a tan head that's as big as you want it to be and decent carbonation.
Surprisingly, this one is throwing off a lot of hops in the smell. It's about two feet away from me on the end table (although upwind with the windows open), and I can clearly smell the sweet malt and grassy hops. It has a twangy smell to it that I hope goes away when I get closer. The twang seems like a bit of orange, but it's drowned out by a crisp grassy smell.
Well, the hops are within type, but the malt disappears. It leaves this feeling much more like a twangy pale than an IPA. The feel is just hollow, like Gatorade with a punch.
This one's kind of like a red head. Looks great. Tastes funny.
