I had heard great things about this ale so when I saw it on tap at the Shannon Rose I decided to give it a try. Smell was sweet, maybe caramel, with a slight hoppy scent. Taste was sweet, again caramely with some hops but overall it was pretty smooth. Was pretty disappointed with the lack of hops in the aftertaste. This one is probably perfect for a beginning pale ale/IPA drinker because its not overly hoppy, but has enough to give a flash of the goodness. For me, it lacks hops and has minimal flavor. If you've never had a hoppy ale/IPA or don't drink them often, give it a try. If you're a hophead, don't bother.
