Well Lighthouse what have you got for me tonight? An IPA you say, well then lets get this done. Lighter non-intense IPA, almost chocolaty, watery, lemon, earthy spice. Heavy malts with upfront bitterness that fades to sweet in the finish. There is a nondescript sharpness in the aroma that's driving me nuts because I can't figure it out. Good easy to drink beer with nothing really bad about it except probably one of the last IPA's I'd ever reach for.

I thought this was a pretty cool american/english crossover IPA. It was awesome in the mouth, it was ready for a good sesssion that is for sure. Pale english hops, bit of spruce, not pine, some carmel, and a bit of bitter honey..... touch of banana, not a good part of it though. Mostly a brit beer with some added bitterness and dry hopping. Kinda like it.

Fresh 344ml can, Thanks Mark. Brisk pour puts a clear orange-amber ale in the glass with a decent sticky/creamy 2 finger cap which lasts well and laces the glass as it's drained. Aromas are toasty malts, woody-earthy resinous British hops (Fuggles) very traditional english IPA aroma. Profile: wonderful toasty-bready malt in the front is balanced with piney resinous hopping....mid palate succulent fruit tones from yeast esters mingle with the now bittering pine-citrus hops and more earthy-woody falvors as some complexity is detected...finishes lightly drying and clean with intensifying resinous bittering leaving a metalic aftertaste. Balanced, full bodied, creamy mouth feel, drinkable and satisfying. A very decent hybrid IPA...done in the english style with mostly english variety hops and a few Pacific warriors in the boil just to throw some light citirus in the taste. Overal character is unique...very earthy-woody hop presence against toasted maris malts...very balanced but hoppy...not a Pacific NW styled IPA but a good Pacific NW take on the English style IPA
