For starters, this is a better beer than the American Pale Ale. It has a better range of flavor and does, somewhat, what it says on the bottle. It tastes and performs like a high ABV American IPA. On the other hand, it certainly doesn't have the big, West Coast, hoppy flavors that can make them so desirable. In addition, it carries more malt than I would normally associate with the style. As a result, it will probably appeal to a bigger audience, but is a bit of a non-event. Perfectly drinkable, but with no distinguishing flavors or uniqueness. Drink it cold, it is perfectly fine, but I wouldn't bother buying it for a high-end tasting.
