3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Found this one bottled at a liquor store in St. John, Indiana, as part of a mix 12 pack of various beers from Indiana brewers. Cloudy, medium brown pour with a lacy head, a mild, malty nose, flavor is a bit on the soft side for a pale ale, but still the hoppiness is omnipresent, with plenty of muted citrusy and flowery hoppiness. A decent brew -- and I wonder why the "tavern style?"

Bottle. Caramel malt and sweet orange aroma. Hazy orange with a small off-white head, light lacing. Pronounced biscuity malt flavor, with a light piney/citrus hop bitterness. Medium body and carbonation. Nice.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a deep amber with a decent tan head.
Aroma is wonderful...caramel and pineapple...nice florals.
Taste is very clean, dry, and crisp...a little bread...hoppy..malt.
I like the restrained hoppiness of this one....excellent.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle; Pour is murky dark golden with an average fine bubbled off white head in this glass. Light lacing is present, with average retention. I think the nose is probably the best aspect of this brew; its malt forward, though - caramel mainly, though florals come through as well. I think it’s a nice feeling overall; the flavor profile reveals a good beer, although unremarkable to me. Biscuits and caramel, florals and very light citrus.... It diminishes.

Bottle pours a murky orange with an off white top. Scent is caramel and citrus. Taste is same with a breadiness as well.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Just not the greatest IPA. Sweet and malty, but not complex at all, but flat.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Amber brew with a thick off white head - slightly cloudy and manages to catch the light and glow. Very nice. Aroma of malt, floral and a little citrus hops. Taste is moderate malitness at the very start of the swallow followed by a great complex hoppiness. Good palate, well crafted, what’s not to like?
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle - small foamy head, light amber/orange color; big citrus hop aroma and flavor with definite orange tastes
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle) Pours copper with an off-white head. The aroma is floral, fruity and nutty. The flavour is light sweet and light to medium bitter with notes of oranges, flowers, spices, nuts and cookies. The mouthfeel is clean with a smooth carbonation. Cookies and flowers on the finish. Near medium bodied.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Slightly more malty than hoppy in aroma and flavor. Not bad really, a lingering bitter finish helps this clean up decently.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Really enjoyed this for a single IPA. Very citrusy and floral. I thought there was a good malt/hop balance. Appearance is a nice copper with a small head that lasts and good lacing on the glass.
