5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
My all time favorite IPA. Low ABV and easy to drink but hoppy and interesting and keeps me coming back for more. Sometimes, when it’s not fresh it is less than perfect but when it’s fresh, DAMN
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
DRaught at Amnesia Brewing. From notes. Tasted in tandem with the Desolation IPA. This one is smoother, with less bitterness than Desolation, better mid-palate. Rounded finish. Good combination of Amarillo and Chinook
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewpub in Portland, OR. Pours a cloudy, orange-amber colored body with a finger-width, dense and frothy, beige head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is orange pines and florals with a sweeter caramel malt backing. Some bread, a few resins, and a light spice. Flavor is similar. Orange and citrusy pines with a good amount of florals and a medium sweet caramel malt backing. Some bread, a light earthy spice, and resins as this finishes dry, moderately bitter, and citrusy with some hints of toast. Lengthy aftertaste following a medium body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a straightforward, but solid IPA. Well hopped with a firm bitterness and a good amount of caramel malts. Not bad.

Hazy orange pour with a tight white head. The nose is orangey and a bit fruity. A touch of spice and assertively bittered. Great palate and a bit of wheaty character that adds body. Bright tasting with some lightly tropical character as it warms up. Light for an IPA, but well-constructed.
