An amber-brown beer that has a relatively large head. It smells of pine and assorted citrus, mostly orange and lemon. The taste is distinctly of hops and pine, but then suddenly the hoppy taste disappears for a note of malty flavor. There is an aftertaste, but it isn't very vivid, as if the malty flavor alone is the aftertaste. Continuing to finish the beer allows the hoppy and malty flavors to combine to make it a strangely different experience from just having a sip.

The anti-hero is everything you want in a very drinkable IPA. The look is shows a copper/hazy brown look. The aroma is a light hoppy citrus and a hint of pine that you like in your IPA. You can taste a pine sensation along with a stronger sense of malts that most IPA's don't provide. This beer reminds me of the trend of "session" beers that represent a great tasting beer without the high ABV. What separates this beer from other IPA's is its clean finish after every sip. This IPA truly encourages you to consume multiple pints without the worries of a high ABV. Anti-Hero represents everything I enjoy in an American IPA - Hoppy Pine aroma, hints of citrus, and a clean finish that doesn't leave a bitter after taste. Truly one of the better session IPA's!

Amber Color very malty looking for not being a DIPA. Nice 1 finger head and good retention.
Sweet hop smell almost a fruit aroma
-Sweet Malty .
-Light hop profile.
-Malt/hop balance.
-Very crisp tasting.
-Hop and Malt combination produces fruity profile
-Easy drinking
-Crisp!!!
-Malt tones down hop profile.
This is a very unique IPA. Very creative. A heavy malt profile balance hop profile to create a smooth non bitter easy drinking IPA. Crisp and refreshing. Might be the best summertime IPA.

Looks like a caramel amber color, crystal clear, very filtered, medium sized head that sticks around forever.
Smells like a mixture of hops, malt, and toffee, very even keeled with a kick of sweetness.
Way up on the malts which results in a very balanced beer. Has slight notes of dark fruits like a Belgian. very sweet for an IPA, definitely complex with more layers.
