Dry Dock in CO, I get it. Sampled from tap, poured a lighter amber color that is boarder line copper. Good clarity with a soft white head. Good retention and lacing through the whole tasting.

The nose is blended nicely. A more caramel malty nose with good sweetness and a light kettle aroma. Some hints of toast and baked bready notes as well. The hops are a blend of earthy and floral notes. A hint of pine and some English yeast aromas but no real off aromas.

The taste is more along an English IPA (versus a East Coast IPA). A great balance between malt and hops. To start the malt has some kettle flavors with caramel and melanodian malt touches. A hint of roast on the back end but subtle. There is more of a yeast presence than the nose indicated. More along the lines of an English yeast with some minor fruity notes and bready finish. No really off flavors. The hops are more blended on the finishing side with a slight bitter taste. More of a earthy and floral finish with a hint of pine on the back end.

The body is moderate but cloying with a hint of drying on the back end. Carbonation is light which helps the English IPA style to me. Overall a tasty beer and very easy to drink.
