2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz. bottle. This is the second beer I tried from a six-pack. Toast-y, biscuit-y, dry aroma. Smell orients a bit “beery” (i.e, like that of a macro pale lager). Not a bad smell, but pretty simple. Pours clear orange-ish gold with moderate amount of substantial, off-white head. Good lacing. Moderate to large amount of small, quick-rising bubbles. Taste is similar to the aroma: Dry, cracker-like, and simplistic. Dry aftertaste. Moderate body. Reasonably lively and soft in the palate. Pretty good palate effects, actually, though I wouldn’t call them memorable. Overall, this is an adequate summer thirst-quencher, but not a beer designed to be savored. It’s not bad in any way, but it also doesn’t stand out in any capacity. Fails to make its mark in a highly competitive style.

Has a very nice strong fresh scent of hops. Smells as good as it tastes, perfect bitterness, great Ipa.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft sample at the Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition Festival. Pours a mostly clear orange-golden color with a finger-thick eggshell white head. Aroma of floral hops, orange citrus, sweet and caramel malts, and a bit of pine. Flavor of floral hops, orange peel, caramel malts, pine resin, and honey. Light-medium bodied, with a floral, resinous mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Decent IPA, and really easy to drink.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
[Tap] Pours a bright orange color with a pillow of white head. Sweet and fruity hop aroma includes orange and grapefruit. Lots of caramel malts balance the moderately bitter hoppiness. Creamy palate, but not particularily complex. Still a really drinkable IPA. Went great with the pizza I had with it.

Slightly cloudy orangey gold, with a durable white head. Very sticky, piney aroma, with a hint of grapefruit. Piney stoney flavor - very aggressive hop bite. A little bit of caramel creeps in as it warms. Tasty...
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at The Yard House. Amber colour, hazy. Passion fruit hoppiness, good bitterness balanced by biscuit flavours. Not bad.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
On draft. Nice orangish color. Classic ipa citrus notes. Very good and drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap pours a enticing gold with a thick head which left lots of lacing. Smells of hops though not as intense as pliney or arrogant. Aromas of peaches and pine. Tastes refreshing and crisp. a good beer for the masses. The fervent hop heads will think this a weak cousin but it has it’s place. Finishes crisp and slightly sweet.
