Cottonwood Endo India Pale Ale

Purchased as a 12oz single from Total Wine on a recent visit to Charlotte, NC, USA.
Darker pour than I was expecting for the style with a nice, creamy looking head and some minimal lace. Body is a little murky for my liking, lacking clarity. Mild carbonation.
Soapy element to the nose. Mild caramel backbone with some grassy, organic like hops also detectable. A little bitterness in the finish, but not a great deal. Smooth in the mouth, possibly the best feature of this beer. Some lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. A bit powdery, not especially clean in the taste – maybe an older bottle.
Middle of the road, with moderate to good drinkability but nothing to report. Slightly above average offering from a brewer that I have come to expect very little from.
