2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle from Bubbles. Pours copper with an inch of white foam. Leaves some lacing in the glass. The aroma smells skunked to me. Not much on the tongue. Some hop bitterness but not much flavor. Clean finisher. Pretty Bleh!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle.
Nice enough looking IPA clear orange with a good thick off white head.
Nice mainlly citric hop aromas,some piesih undertones.
Flavour is actually more balanced than the aroma, the piney hops are there, but theres a good malt balance.
Ok on the palate, average for style,
THis is by no means a top rate IPA, but its pretty good drinking!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Gold / yellow color with a thin white head and some visible carbonation. Aroma of citrus / lemons, floral hops, and some pine hops. Pilsner-like malt flavor with a little citrus and pine hop finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, with screw-off top (boo). Pours light gold, clear in appearance, and with a small white head. Good lacing in pint glass. Aroma is slightly lemony, but the emphasis here is on grassy hops. Flavor follows suit: a very clean hop bitterness, matched with a spicy grass ‘n’ lemon flavor. No sign of malt (read caramel, sugar or red fruit), which is how I like my IPAs. Kind of thin, though. Overall, this is a deal of an IPA at $6.99 a sixer, but it falls short due to an overall lack of complexity and flavor.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Aroma of hops, but not too strong. Slightly citric and floral but also bit of an earthy scent as well. Golden in color with a small off white head. Taste is of malt and dry hop flavors. This is a pretty good beer but is not nearly as hoppy as most american IPA’s, could almost be classified as a strong pale ale.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sampled at Denver Winter Brewfest 2011. Clear transparent gold, unimpressive appearance. Smells very balanced with plenty of caramel malt and leafy green hops. Taste is not excessively hoppy, but is pretty bitter. A bit of citrus and pine. The finish is very grainy, like an amber or something. Not a great IPA, just kinda middle-of-the-road.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pale gold, thin head. Very floral hop aroma with citrus. Simple, juicy and muted hop flavor. Rather still on the palate. Low bitterness. Super simple beer, clean but rather boring.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bomber. intriguing smell with a hint of citrus. Body is a lighter golden brown. A smooth beer with not very much bite; fairly drinkable.
