3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint. Best by date of July 23, 2011.
Appearance: Clear, light gold without much head and no lacing. Looks a little too lager-like.
Aroma: Tangerine, with light grapefruit and tropical notes. Some toasted malts.
Taste: Dry, toasted malt backbone with borderline tart grapefruit and tangerine co-mingling. Finish is slightly bitter and spicy, but fairly light overall for an IPA.
Palate: Moderate carbonation, light to medium body with a very dry finish. A little lighter than I prefer but the tart-like dryness is great.
Overall: Very nice everyday IPA. Not too bold on flavor, but what is present is quite enjoyable.

Poured a dark golden color. Smaller head. Aroma of softer citrus hops and some caramel notes. Medlite bitter, lite sweetness, ends sort of abruptly. Med lite bodied, slick texture. Light carbonation. A weaker ipa than most but still very smooth and drinkable.

Pours a copperish color. Typical hoppy aroma, a bit of skunkyness to this was a surprise. Flavor is a mix of caramel malt flavors and hops. Ok.

On tap at Bigfoot food and spirits. Very light colored for an IPA...thought I was given a coors light. Bitter pinch of herbs.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pale yellow pour, tall white head, good lacing. Citrus aroma. Thin body, not much in the way of hop flavor. This would be a decent pale ale, but it is a boring IPA.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Fairly typical IPA, with notes of citrus, pine and hops. Still, well balanced and very drinkable.
