Impression:
I tend to prefer English IPAs to American ones because they usually have a better balance between malt and hops flavors (the ones I've tried, at least). This one has a nice aroma -- a bit of grapefruit, a little pine, a smidge floral, and a wee bit malty. The aromas aren't overblown, but nicely balanced, and the flavors follow suit. I taste a wider range of citrus flavors than I picked up on in the aroma, and it's both creamy and crisp, making this a very refreshing beer. It seems like it's a fairly versatile beer, too, like I could enjoy this with a wide variety of foods without the flavors of the beer being masked (or vice versa). I would definitely have this one again.
Cheers!
