Amber IPA

Appearance:  Darker than I had anticipated. The color suggests that of a brown ale. Slight yellowish head with some staying power and moderate lacing.

Aroma:  Fruit bomb! Pineapple, mango, papaya, peach. Smells like a pina colada. No maltiness aromas come through.

Taste:  Grapefuit and pineapple notes. General tropical fruitiness – difficult to identify particular flavors. Mild malty undertone that presents near the end of the taste. Very mild flavors. Bitterness is well balanced with sweetness.

Mouthfeel:  Full bodied. Rich. Could stand to be more carbonated – a bit on the low side of what I would have wanted. Enhanced carbonation may also provide a brighter, fresher taste that I think would do this beer very well.
