found this review on www.Beeradvocate.com to be accurate....
"Pours a light golden copper, barely hazy, with a thin white cap that fades very quickly. Nice streams of bubbles flowing up.
Nose is nice - orange marmalade, caramel hiding underneath, toasted bread, and a light layer of spicy pine on top. Nicely balanced, refreshing to see an American take on a British style that doesn't load itself down with American hops.
Taste is nice - subtle blend of toasty, orangey malt underneath, bready, and a nice, soft layer of spicy, earthy hops hinting at pine. Moderate lingering bitterness. Bit of butter, slick, not overwhelming.
Mouthfeel is nice as well - soft prickle, slick, full bodied, mellow. Lovely.
Drinkable is an understatement - mellow and flavorful, really enjoyable beer. Balanced and, above all, tasty."
Wonderturtle's verdict: first of all, the guy who did the review above might sound like a pretentious jerk ("nose of orange marmalade, caramel hiding underneath, toasted bread, and a light layer of spicy pine on top") but, while drinking the beer and reading his review at the same time, he knows what he's talking about.
this beer is good although it doesnt have the depth of flavor of a really good IPA it is also relatively tame. certainly an IPA that you can drink many of.
