Erie Mad Anthony's APA

So far, I've been fairly pleased with the Erie beers I've had.  The next one I pulled from my sampler box was Mad Anthony's APA:

Impression:
This beer is about on par with the rest of the Erie beers I've had so far.  There's a slight metallic taste in the background, which isn't all that pleasant, but it isn't very distracting, either, and it dissipates as the beer breathes.  The aroma is about what I'd expect: fresh bread dough, grassy, sweet malt aromas backing a mild fruity-citrusy scent.  After the aroma, I was mildly surprised at the dry character of the beer.  The bitterness takes a little bit to kick in, and the primary flavors are more earthy/herbal/grassy, with the fruity-citrusy hops characters coming in on the back end.  I was a little disappointed in the lighter mouthfeel, though it did have a fairly smooth drinkability to it.

Cheers!
