3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle... Poured pale orange with a white head. Aroma of leafy hops. High carbonation, with flavors of hops dominating over the malt that is there, a great bitterness at the finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle from ABC Liquors Wesley Chapel. Pours clear yellow-orange with a white head. Nose is grapefruit, citrus, and some mild apricot with a hint of honey and some floral hops. Flavor is similar with malt, grapefruit, a hint of orange, and a finish of a hint of malt with the bite of a white grapefruit. Nice, mellow IPA.

On tap GABF 02: Burnt resin aroma, clear light amber color, fizzy oily mouthfeel. Besides the burnt aroma/taste, I enjoyed this beer.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Golden with a touch of orange, decent head. Aroma of grapefruit and cat piss, with a bit of sweetness. The flavor is a sharp grapefruit dominated hop oriented thing, with just barely enough body to hold up to it. Not bad, but didn't hold up to the hop blast as well as I would have liked.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
35,5 cl bottle. Golden colour with a weak head. Very hoppy aroma of fruit and flawor. Very tasty and hoppy flavour of fruit and a lot of citrus. Ends up very nice endeed.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a hazy golden color with a one and a quarter finger thick white head that last awhile. Nice lacing. Has a nice, tangy lemon hop aroma. Flavor is citrus and floral hops with a touch of malt sweetness. Medium body. Aftertaste is kinda herbal. A nice IPA.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Draught @ Papago Brewery
The beer an unclouded amber to copper color as it sets in the glass, the head is mountainous in size, creamy in texture with the color a beauteous light tan, the lace a diaphanous skirt to hide the glasses charms. Nose is dominated by the hop floral spiciness, cotton candy sweet, malt laden and a magnificent treat for the olfactory senses, start is ambrosial, nice malt presence, the top is moderate in its feel to the palate. Finish is pesky in its acidity; the hops steal the show with their spiciness, droughty aftertaste that lingers on the palate, “WOW”! Another winner from this most magnificent brewery, that has climbed into my top three favorite breweries, right there with Stone and Alesmith, a must try for you hop heads and I must find some of this in the bottle to keep on hand as its just to damn good not to have in the old DBF!
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is an excellent IPA. Pale copper/amber cross, clear with a nice soupy white head with a touch of yellow in the foam. The aroma is a very complex hop profile. You’ve got pepper, citrus and pine all meshed together in a sinus-tingling mix. The flavor is fairly dry but manages to barely keep away from the all hop, no malt unbalancing of some IPAs. There’s still enough malt flavor in here to support the hops and bitterness despite it being very highly attenuated. Excellent IPA that excites the nose and tongue.
