3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/2022oz bottle. Golden amber with a small off white head and some floaties/sediment. Aroma of citrus peel, toffee and earthy herbs. Flavor of sweet toasty malt, rough bitterness and some doughy yeast. Medium body with average carbonation. Not really a fan of this one, kind of rough and yeasty.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hazy orange with a thick lingering head. Strong hop aromas of pine, grapefruit, orange, and pear. Light body with lively carbonation provides a good base for the bright hop bitterness. Finish is long and lingers with more grapefruit and pine. I’ve said before I’m not a hop head but I think those that are would be pleased with this.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
at GAABF 2012. Good aroma, sweet. covers a range of things, pine and grapefruit, expected, green apple, not expected. Cloudy brownish orange color, small head, minor lace. Bitter sweet flavor, light body, smooth mouthfeel, bitter finish. Good, aroma best part with it’s range, flavor was darn bitter, long bitter finish also.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled at the ’12 GABBF. Hazy amber color with a whispy off white head. Slight nose with some candy and hop resin. Oddly fruity IPA with apple, pear, sweet oranges and wet bread. Not what I expect from an IPA.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear amber color with ivory foam. Nice ganja bud, caramel, pine aromas. medium bodied. Mild spicy hop, grainy caramel flavors, lightly bitter finish--not bad.
3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at GABBF. Hazy golden amber color, scant edge head. Aroma of flowers and grass. OK, maybtasing notes says it tastes like spooge and pineapple, but I’m sure that’s because I had a bit too much to drink. Anyway, I liked the taste very much.
