3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from the Arlington World Market. Poured a hazy orange with a flowing off white head that just wouldn’t stop.
As the head settled it started looking like awkward meringue sand castles. You know the castles you could make by drizzling wet sand out of your fist into a semi-Dungeons and Dragons castle kind of spire? Several of those about a quarter of an inch to an inch tall just chilling out in my beer... what the fuck?
Aroma of fruit and some hops. Good citrus flavor with not so much hop flavor, but plenty of good fry hop feel. Aftertaste is faint citrus. Dry.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Nice hoppy pale aroma, kept a great head even though it was out of the bottle, a little bit of a orange-peel type of flavor, very crisp & clean
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Mmmmmmmm....hops. Nose is hoppy and floral. Taste is of course hops, with some lemon and a little spice. Finish is bitter and very clean. For an IPA the hops are very subdued and mild. Goes down great. A very refreshing easy going IPA. I will be having this again.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Gotta keep telling myself that I’m a Stoutie. But lately I’ve been enjoying so many excellent IPAs. My Secret Santa sent me two I’m anxious to try. Had this last year but before joining RateBeer. So, I had it again last night and loved it. Nice amber color with frothy white head. Aroma was the appealing grapefruity I associate with the style. Lightly carbonated and a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Flavor was so very refreshing and clean and crisp and grapefruity. Great stuff.
