3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Quite the bitter punch from the first sip to the last! Just enough caramel-like sweetness to lightly mellow things out before the finish; which was very sharp but clean and refreshing. Would make for a great pairing with ’beer butt’ chicken! A great brew to try for those who are not into ’hoppy’ brews. A very flavorful IPA and one I’ll definitely be enjoying more of!!

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at "Dive Bar", Wexford PA. Pours hazy gold, smells crisp, smooth clean taste, not enough hop to be a true IPA. IMHO.
3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Color was light golden, like watered down apple juice. Fairly clear. Light, but lasting lacing on the top. Healthy amount of film on the sides of the glass throughout.
Smelled sweet citrus hops. Seems to be lemon zest leading the way with some tangerine in there as well. Some floral notes, too, but I’m bad at judging this. Hops came in late. Best part of the beer was the smell.
Really liked the complex balance of this beer. Sweet citrus led the way along with slightly bitter hops. Bitterness on the tongue after, but still very slight. Smooth beer.
Medium body. Fizzy (high) carbonation. Smooth and not overly bitter.
I really liked this beer. I think it was a tad too fruity or girly, but it went down smooth.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A barely hazy dark gold with a frothy off-white head. The aroma is tropical fruit and bubblegum. The flavor is floral and piney with a lingering bitterness. Nothing too extraordinary, but a solid IPA.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Towards dark straw colour, hazy. Off-white head, frothy at first but collapses into bumps that stays. Floral and grainy hoppy aromas. Flavours of hops, grapefruit and some malt sweetness. It has a nice balanced bitternes all trhough without being to dominant in the end. Medium bodied, slick texture, soft carbo. Overall a very good and well balanced IPA.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A clear golden brew with good carbonation. Sweet floral bready aromas. Flavor is of intense spice and grapefruit with a little spruce. The body is surprisingly on the heavy side, but this one is still very drinkable. Lingering floral-spice notes. A very decent IPA.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
355 ml bottle @ Olutravintola Konttori, Tampere.
Originally rated on 20110224.
Pours hazy golden colour with medium white head. Aroma of exotic fruits, orange peel, light caramel malts and grass. Flavour of exotic fruits, caramel, light toffee, wood, pine needles and some syrup at the end. Sweetish palate with quite bitter finish. Balanced brew but nothing that makes it special.
