From the brewer

Our Fathom IPL combines time-honored lagering techniques with the hop profile of a San Diego IPA recipe. The cold-fermenting lager yeast provides a clean base that allows the citrus and pine aromas from the hops to really shine. The result is a gold medal beer with a refreshing, easy drinking character and just the right amount of depth.

Who's been drinking this

Fruity floral smell.
Bottle
Hoppy sweet lager, with an unusual herbaceous quality to the flavor. I couldn't quite identify it, but I wasn't exactly operating with a virgin palate and nobody else seemed to notice anything.
Bottle at Work
Very light smell. Carbonation present at the beginning, present due to thin taste. Nice light taste, bit floral versus any strong cereal presence. Hop presence along the periphery then fades quickly before reappearing again at the finish. A solid light body beer.
Kind of like a really light IPA, with a hint of citrusy IPA flavors. Tasted a bit funky honestly. Not a huge fan, but not bad.
