Ok ..my exploration of the "Organics" continues.. typical 12 oz brown bottle..and typical Wolavers label..three guys with scythes. Nice enough looking IPA..the bright orangy brown colour and a small pure white head..that goes fast..but leaves some OK lacing. Nice "spicy" IPA hop aroma..very nice. MM an enjoyable and not too hoppy IPA..this seems to be a "transition" between the West Coast IPAS and an English IPA...this has nice hopping but also has some malt profiles. very nice on the palate. a nice drinkable IPA.. a nice one for those late summer nights.

A nice and subtle IPA I had on draft that was mediocre and a bit hoppy and forgettable. Not real clean, not real hoppy, just like a middle man in the hop world who you have to give your registration to and go to the counter and deal with the RUDEST fucking people ever. But you’ve had three of these so its cool, dude, chill out about that ticket, though. Good on draft, probs not the best in bottle. Would try again...

Deep gold/amber appearance with luminescent orange/gold rim. Appetizing aromas of caramel, malt and pineapple. Dominating bitterness is satisfying and appealing by thrilling the tastebuds instead of hitting them with a sledgehammer – begins with young leaf bitterness, matures into yellow grapefruit and an everlong finish eventually wraps up with nodes of smooth vanilla and caramel. An ostentatious IPA that is mature enough to drive just a touch above the speed limit.

Pours a hazy deep orange color with a very thin, quickly dissipating white head. Aroma overall is very faint with a note of toasted malt notes and a mild citrus orange note at the end. Flavor has a great Munich malt toasted bite at the start, a strong noble hops grassy note in the middle and finishes with a mild caramel sweetness. Body is moderately heavy with a smooth carbonation the provides a slightly oily texture. Overall a pretty good brew with a lot more malty undertones which are not seen a lot in an IPA.

This organic brew has a clear clean hop aroma with subtle bitterness. The color is a a citrus cloudy orange-yellow color with a small head. The flavor of the hops are more bitter than sweet, settling with some citrus notes on the palate.

Tap at Swift. A very middle-of-the-road IPA. Average on all counts: appearance, aroma, flavor...I would drink this again but there are many IPAs I would reach for first.

Tepid orange with no head. Nose of orange and grain, light malt. Sweet, honey-ish flavor, more pale malt and orange, and also some alcohol. Bready finish. Malt in the flavor saves this one, otherwise it’s one you can skip.
