2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a clear golden hue with a frothy white head with decent lacing. Aromas of wheat, hay, a light citrus and some more grains...Lacking much hop character in the aroma.
Mouth feel is light bodied. Flavors similar to the aromas with a semi dry finish. mmmmm... lacking something.

bottle. Pours a light orange amber with an aroma that falls short on hops. Taste is muted hop bitterness with some malt sweetness. Averaqge IPA

12oz bottle from belmont station in portland. clear amber-yellow pour with a thin off-white head. aroma of malt and light citrus. thinnish body. taste is mainly the malts with a hint of hops. pretty bland overall. if I suddenly traveled back to college and needed to chug a lot of beer, this would be a good choice. k-6.5
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Metal dominates the taste, followed by some funky malt...not a good combo. LOW, unreasonably low hop flavor for an IPA, and what little hop flavor remains is not that great. Ugly color, little head. Other than all that, not bad.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Citrus hops throughout, some flowers too. More on the mild than wild, but it turns it into a good session beer. Clean body, taste dissipates fairly quickly.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From a 220z. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is pineapple and some citrus. Color is a clear gold with a half inch white head. Bitter with some toasty malt. A touch of malty sweetness, but only a little. Hop flavor is earthy and a little piney. Carbonation may be a touch too much, a little CO2 bite. Clean and dry with a little lingering bitterness and hop flavor. Not bad over all.

Bottle at Paley’s Place, Portland. Beautiful tawny tan colour. Aroma of creamed caramel, malts and corn. Smooth mouthfeel showcasing exquisite balance in it’s flavour. The slight bitter hint in the finish is excellent. A true classic IPA owing more to the UK style than monster hop bombs.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours gold/amber with a white head. Smells of citrus and earthy. Tastes citrusy and nicely bitter with a grapefuit like finish. Nice!
