Midway IPA (Goose Island)

I had this brew from the tap of the Wrigleyville Goose Island pub. The brewer was at the bar giving out samples. It was tasty and had a pun involved (mid way...midway). I liked it so well I got a pint.

General Thoughts
Look and Smell: It was a gold-ish-amber brew with a white head. It smelled of pine. Earthy hops.

Taste: I could taste the bitterness and earthiness from the hops. It was sappy. The sap and earth was that pine that matched the smell. It had a bitter aftertaste. I got a hint of citrusy flavors as it warmed up.

From the Goose Island menu:
A pub-brewed India Pale Ale that yields a higher gravity and slightly deeper hue than our perennial IPA, making it "MID WAY" between the IPA and the Imperial IPA.
