Tasting Notes: 
Pour clear golden, amber orange with quarter inch white head that quickly recedes and leaves some big sticky rings around the glass. Aroma is slightly muted but still some good citrus in the nose with a heavy backing of caramel notes. Smooth mouthfeel encapsulates a good amount of pine up front followed by some sweet malts and citrus (primarily grapefruit). Give Terrapin some props for resisting the urge to do a training wheels IPA. This isn't anything that blows my skirt up, but it's better than Dogfish 60 minute, and people seem to like that alright. Another welcome addition to some solid East Coast IPA's.
