3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cask Stillage from the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 24/09/2009
Fruity hop aroma. Golden coloured smooth on the palate floral and hoppy with a little dryness in a bitter lasting malt finish.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sparkling clear, orange ale with a small, creamy, white head. Great retention. Weepy lacework. The nose is malty as hell... caramel, sweat and still steaming, boiled-out barley malt. The flavor is malty and rich with plenty of bitter grapefruit rind . Medium-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Medium-length, grassy, dry finish. An IPA for maltheads!
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cloudy amber color with a hugh off white head and lots of lace. Earthy malt with light fruit and dark caramel. A more traditional IPA that seems to grow on me the deeper into the pint I get.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
An amber beer with a hard to find aroma. In the flavor, there is some hoppiness, but it's of a smoky variety and a hint of nuts. OK.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tasted on tap at Augusta Brewing in Augusta, Missouri. Burnt orange appearance which is mostly clear. Sweet hop aroma with a sweet, creamy hopped IPA.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sample poured from a growler by the brewer. Poured a mostly clear copper color with a finger-thick off-white head. Notes of leafy hops, grapefruit citrus, caramel malts, pine resin, grass, and wood. Light-medium bodied, with mild carbonation and a leafy mouthfeel. Very easy drinking, a mild IPA if there ever was one.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sampled at the brewpub. Beautiful lacing over a copper colored beer. This IPA is, indeed, well hopped. Tart bitterness throughout. Citrus is grapefruit, a hint of pine, and some pleasant caramel that is almost over whelmed by the hops. Finish was slightly spicy. Nice beer.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Augusta Brewpub. Cloudy amber with a creamy tan head that laces a bit as it slowly disintegrates. Aroma of citrus, caramel, grapefruit and pine. Medium palate beer tastes of caramel, grapefruit , floral and citrus hops. Mild bitter floral hop finish. The best of the beers I sampled at the brew pub.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Copper/iced tea color. Fine bubbles in this beer. Nice hop flavors, apparently among them are Goldings and Cascade, an interesting combination. There are some malty flavors there for sweetness and balance, but of course, this is an IPA, so it’s a very hoppy beer. Tasty.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tasted 11/5 from the brewery. Hazy, amber hue. Clinging off-white head. Good hop nose, but oily. Dry hop flavor and bitter. Tasty!
