2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
light yellow pour with a white head. Citrus aroma. Pretty basic IPA taste here, nothing special. Heavy on hops, thin body.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours orange, small lace. Aroma is sweet malt, citrus hops, and some skunkiness for whatever reason. Taste is, well, surprisingly malty. They found some great balance with this one, though the skunkiness taste is somewhat there as well. Hoppy taste (and final), but surprisingly not really bitter. Would actually be better if the skunkiness was an accident, which is probably the case, considering the ratings. Great balance.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
One of the best APAs I’ve had. Nearly perfectly balanced and just hoppy enough for fun!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a thin white head. Aroma of floral and grassy hops. Also a little orange. Flavors are very well balanced. Floral with caramel malts. Just enough carbonation. A nice, long bitter finish. Overall a very good pale ale.

T-light hop bitterness with notes of honey, sweet biscuity malt, juicy citrusy hops, the raw herbal hop is much more subdued in the back, notes of a medicinal pehonol in the back. sweetness linger with the light bitterness.
M-medium bodied and pretty juicy with a moderate carbonation.
D-this is a decent pale ale, well balanced with a fair amount of sweetness and nice presence of bitterness. the medical flavor in the taste is slightly off but other than that a good beer.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
