Notes

OH State Fair 2017 (28.5/50)

AROMA: (6.5/12) Very light hop note, strong grainy/malty note with good retention, very light haze; grainy, hops not as prominent as I expect

APPEARANCE: (3/3) Amber/copper color, large & fine off-white head with good retention, very light haze; nice head, good retention, darker end of copper/amber for IPA, good clarity

FLAVOR: (9.5/20) Strong & sweet malt with very light hop bitterness, balance is more sweet and much more dry than expected, very restrained bitterness in finish; good malty/grainy complexity with some hoppiness - low for a IPA, malty to sweet to bitter flavor, not hop-forward

MOUTHFEEL: (4/5) Medium body, moderate carbonation, light alcohol warming, no astringency; very good

OVERALL IMPRESSION: (5.5/10) A very enjoyable beer to drink, but a ways out of style for an American IPA. The complex malty flavor is very nice to drink: we really enjoyed it; an enjoyable beer to drink but does not really fit into this category very well. We finished the bottle.
