On draft at the Abbey in South Beach. Pours mostly-clear amber copper with a white head. Nose is lots of sweet caramel, some citrus hops, and a hint of honey. Flavor is similar with lots of sweetness balanced with citrus hops- leaning towards sweetness. Standard IPA... easy drinking beer for the area of South Beach.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at the pub in South Beach. Pours a clear, coppery amber color with a small, foamy, off-white head. The froth settles quickly to a thin layer, leaving sticky splotches and flares of lacing behind. The aroma is quite like an English pale, toasty biscuit and light crystal malts balanced out by hoppy notes of citrus blossoms and fresh cut grass. The flavor shows more of the same, toasty and biscuity up front, never too sweet, with nice citrus peel and grass bitterness. Medium-plus in substance, with lively but not overly active carbonation, the palate is pretty neutral. Not bad overall.
3.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Contract brew for the pub. Amber, with a thin head. Very little aroma. Heavy, with a malt and hop balance that is atypical.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at the abbey brewing company. Clear light gold pour with large fluffy near white head. Pleasant hop flavor but the aroma is a bit weak. Nice and balanced and not overly bitter. A little on the watery side.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft @ Abbey Brewing Company. Pours dark golden color with white head. Pine hop aroma, citrus, malt. Bitter pine hop flavor with slight maltiness. Somewhat thin body with average carbonation. Kind of in between an APA and IPA. Decent.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A delicious flavor, although far from tasting like an IPA. It has some pleasant, smooth fruit flavors over a strong malty body, but no discernible hops or bitterness. More like an American Pale Ale. Works for me :]
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught @ Abbey Brewing Company Miami. Small fizzy light beige head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Light cloudy pale amber color. Aroma was clear crisp hoppy notes with solid malty base. Notes of fruit, citrus, grape, biscuit, caramel. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation and dry texture. Moderated bitter flavor with good counter sweetness. Lingering dry bitter hoppy finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft. Looks good. Nice lighter copper pour with good head. Hoppy to smell and taste, and is the dominant flavor. Citrusy pineyness there too. Fairly well balanced, carbonated and drinkable. solid.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
tap. Rich amber pour. Hoppy nose, but with some sweet fruity notes. Malt is present on the nose as well. Flavor is pretty nice with a good malt backbone, hops, citrus and a good finish of malt again. Nice.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewpub. Pours clear copper with off white head and cobweb lacing. The aroma is malty first with moderate roasted malts, bread and malt sweetness followed by mild and muted citrus to pine hops. The taste has an initial pulse of citrus to grassy hops before a wave of malt sweetness quickly catches on and works to take over the flavor. By midway the citrus grapefruit hop bitterness builds and takes over the experience for a while. The hops dwindle into the finish as malty sweetness comes to the surface again to take this beer to closure.
