3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a clear pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma has ligt citrus and tea. Flavor has mild citrus and earthy notes...fairly bitter. Mouthfeel is light and the finish is resinous/earthy/piney and dry. A bit boring.

My favorite of the beers in the ABC sampler. More east coast than west, but still a decent IPA. Good amber/orange color, pleasant pine hop aroma, and a nice sweet-then-bitter finish.

Clear orange with a thin white head. Grapefruit aroma. Crisp bright fresh no balance

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at the gettysburg location. Clear golden amber pour, with a white head. Citrusy, lightly fruity, sweetness, caramel malt, and light bitterness. Decent beer, but the body is too thin. Still one of their better offerings.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at the Gettysburg brewpub. Served in a pint glass. Golden amber color with thin white head. Aroma of some malt and surprisingly little floral and piney hops. Taste is also light hops and some sweetness. Very lightly bitter. Seems to lean more on malt then hops for an IPA, I dunno.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle from Wegman’s, King of Prussia, PA. A slightly hazy amber with a thin translucent head; rich floral hop aroma with a touch of citrus; the flavour is quite restrained at first, but then the hops kick in assertively giving an extremely dry finish with some warming alcohol. A pleasant IPA, not as extreme as some West Coast examples, but very drinkable.

On tap at the brewpub. Clear gold pour, white head. Aroma of light piney hops, biscuity malts. Taste is slightly bitter, not very hoppy at all. It’s alright.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a light golden color with a bright white head that dissipates quickly. Not as aromatic as I would expect for an IPA.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz bottle thanks to Casey: Pours a light yellow with a thin white head and little CO2 release. Aroma is floral hops, hay and doughy yeast. Taste is slightly bitter on the front, light and kind of sour. Not the best flavor. Easy to drink on the front, but bitter and too dry on the finish. Not that great but easy enough to drink; not really an IPA - more like a pale.
