Lots of foam when I poured this one into a glass. In that glass, it gave off a lightly-cloudy golden color with hints of citrus and bread but not a lot of smell.

Another IPA that's a bit too sour for my tastes, but I have to admit that IPA sourness/bitterness is not overly strong here. The flavor is stronger than the smell, with quite a bit more of that citrus, though that gives away fairly quickly to a smoothness bitterness not uncommon to IPAs. Not a lot of complexity here for an IPA, but that's not always a bad thing, depending upon your mood and your tastes.

I could recommend this to, especially to IPA lovers, but I'm not sure it would become anyone's regular drinking or sipping brew.
