Caramel, brown sugar, and light citrus on the nose. On the tongue, the hop bitterness is fairly equal citrus and pine, but neither is quite enough to overcome the sweetness that takes over mid-palate. Not sure if this is an older bottle that has lost its hop bite, or if this is a case of being too heavy-handed with the malt, but something's a bit off for me. A touch under-carbonated as well. Not the worst IPA I've had, but a far cry from the best.
