Free Will Techno

I've managed to sample quite a few non-IPA styles lately, so I figured it was time to try one of the last two IPAs in my stock that I haven't tasted yet.  The third style in my Free Will variety box was their Techno, an American IPA:

Vittles:
American IPA
7.3% abv
55 IBU

Score:
Appearance: 9/10
Aroma: 21/25
Taste: 36/40
Mouthfeel: 8/10
Style: 5/5
Drinkability: 8/10
Overall: 87/100

Impression:
I like the burnt-orange color, and the head had decent retention, leaving slight lacing as it went.  The aroma is an interesting combination of bready and grapefruity smells, with caramel, melon, and earthy undertones.  The earthiness gives a bit of balance to the citrusy hops characteristics and adds a nice complexity.  The flavors are about what I'd expect after the nose, though more of the sweet malt flavors come to the front.  It's well-carbonated, medium-bodied, and a little dry.  It's a little sticky on the back end, and that lingers into the aftertaste.  Well done overall.

Cheers!
