Overall Impression:
This is the beer that turned Crazy Gurl into a little “Hop Head”! It’s not as hoppy as a west coast IPA, but it’s a good starter beer for people new to the style.

I personally found the beer to be completely unbalanced, way too sweet, and cloying. As an IPA I would rate it as Decent at best. If I reviewed it as an Amber Ale, perhaps then it would be Good.
ReplyDeleteI DO agree with Herr Mike in that it's a good starter beer for Newbeez, due to the low hoppiness that they often refer to as bitter.
