Mouthfeel
is fairly smooth on the palate with a mild thread of champagne-like dryness.
Overall, this is a drinkable IPA that smells like an IPA but tastes more like a standard pale ale. On the nose, typical IPA aromas such as hops, grapefruit, and even some pine are evident; however, on the palate, the hops are muted as are the grapefruit and pine, as wheat, malt, and bread flavors become more abundant. Quite interesting. Enjoyable.
My score: 92
