First sip is very much not IPA-like. It is heavier on the malt than I expected, and that taste is very smooth. It has grains and they are cutting any hop bitterness very well. It really doesn't seem like an IPA to me - it's more of a dopplebock than anything. And that is... unexpected to say the least. Time to feel the whole thing right.
Tip-in is a rich honey malt with a sharp hop floral and citrus base. The middle comes along with freshly baked bread and that lovely citrus floating on top. It is excessively smooth, and I like it quite a bit. The finish needs to take this home, and it does just that with a muted bitter swing that is not too much to be a bite and not too small to be unnoticed. Instead, it is a character line on the face of a woman who is universally alluring.
Bottom Line: She's a good tasting beer. Not your typical IPA, but smooth and filled with a unique personality.
