3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20Bottle. Darker amber color typical of IPA’s - though slightly cloudy. Fairly hoppy aroma. Quite hoppy - hops are well balanced with malt.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. This beer pours a fairly clear light reddish-orange color with a light white head. Aroma is leafy and sweet hops. Sticky citrus hops. Flavor is dry, hoppy, sticky, and fairly bitter. Finishes bitter and lingers.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft. Pours clear medium brown. Tastes bitter, like strong grapefruit, floral hops, pine, malt. Smells like pine hops. Medium body and carbonation.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap. Pours deep amber with creamy white head. Aroma is caramel and cereal malts, floral hops, figs, dates, and light toast. Flavor is a balance of sweet and bready malts with good supporting earthy hops and some dark fruit esters; dry finish. Medium body and low carbonation.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear copper color. Aroma: Grass, citrus, pomegranate, banana and toast. Taste: Caramel, grapefruit, pomegranate and citrus. Dry finish. Very bitter, but overall this beer doesn’t match my expectations of an IPA. Easily drinkable, but for some reason it doesn’t impress.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark opaque amber with thin lacy head. Back of palate bitterness that stays through finish.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours dark amber with chill haze and a one finger creamy white foamy head.
Nose is very citrusy with lemon and orange, slight estery banana which is interesting and some roasted malt sweetness.
Flavour is clean, with a decent amount of bitterness throughout and a sweet, malty, slightly banana estery finish. A slight amount of toast and citrus on the finish adds complexity.
I’m kind of uncertain about all those esters in there. I fell like perhaps they might be a result of poor storage.
Regardless, this is a decent beer, but nothing outstanding. However I’ll definitely be getting a bottle from a more reliable retailer in the future.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
August 2010. Bottle. Amber color with a white head. One of the big West Coast style IPA’s out there and does not disappoint in any way. Great stuff!
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Nice golden orange color with a decent head. Nice and clear when I put it up to the light ...no haze. Hoppy floral notes to my nose with hints of evergreen and fresh flowers. Taste is wonder with lots of hops and a slight hint of malt. Crisp and clean with a nice hops after taste that last for a few minutes.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Hazy copper-amber with a quickly lost whitish head. Aroma of oranges and caramel. The taste is excellent. It’s got a nice bitter hop presence and a solid malt backbone. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Very pleasant drinking. Nice.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
I had this at Global Brew. It is nice and hoppy, flavor is like the average IPA. I could drink this again.
