3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20Bomber from Pint Defiance. Clear gold pour with a short, persistent off-white head leaving heavy lace. Nose is mango, peach, fresh-cut grass, ganja and pine – all the hops aromas I love! Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. Pine, ganja, some tropical fruit, light caramel and toast. Finish is more hops, but without excessive bitterness, however the body lightens up a bit and washes out. A solid IPA, but I’d expect a lower ABV (and therefore more sessionability) for the body and balance.

Great pour. Excellent on the nose big grapefruit aromas. Does down easy, very well balanced, lingering bitterness, enjoyed this more as it warmed up a tad.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Whole Foods in NYC. I was quite excited about trying this one. For an IPA, quite a yellowy gold colour, bubbly head, some initial carbonation. Hoppy aroma, pine and woody, maybe oak, some slight hint of a quality furniture shop (in a good way). Taste is quite bitter, medium finish. It’s very nice, but I didn’t seem to get the depth or complexity of hop aromas one might expect from a 100 rated beer. Maybe I should try this sometime blind, or on tap, or not look at ratings here before trying! Very good, just don’t get the very high score.

[US West Coast Trip 2013] Slap me in the face and call me.... Ja ja hur som helst. Aroman, ja? Omänskligt bra, fruktig, humlig, frisk. Smaken är också den underbar. Mycket bra balanserad och den rinner ned genom strupen som flytande bebis rumpa ! Det här är bra !
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Flaske fra polet: hva mer kan man forlange av en APA? Denne har alt - en flott skumkorne som holder på smaken helt til bunns, aroma som frister og frister (Må bare ta en slurk til), smaksfylde som har alt man kan ønske seg av citrus, bær, tropiske lekkersaker, raffinert bitterhet, fast kontrollert av en lett karamellaktig maltsødme, og en ettersmak som varte til lenge etter at jeg var ferdig med dagens korrespondanse.

AleSmith is light golden orange in color. Citrus and pine nose. Low bitterness. Pairs with aged cheese very well! Smooth and well balanced.

Bottle shared at EricTeusinks - Pours clear yellow. Big citrus bite, fruity, a tad piney and clean/crisp maltiness. The was certainly a top tier IPA. The balance was nice, it was bright and it damn drinkable.
