Backyard IPA poured a clear, copper color with a thumb width, off white head.  The aroma is malty with a little yeast, some orange notes and faint hops.  The body is smooth and malty, with a light sweetness up front and a bready characteristic to it.  The hops start to come in a little on the back end.  The beer finishes with a lingering dryness.  There is some hanging lace left on the glass.  Overall, this is an average IPA.  The hops came in almost a little to late giving the beer more of a pale ale taste.  The malt was a little to forward, creating an off balance to the beer.    

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
