3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
I still remember cringing at the "insane bitterness" of my first non-Lagunitas IPA. Now that my tastes have matured a bit, I must say this one is pretty good. Well-balanced, very drinkable. An easy IPA to love.

Found an old tasting note:
orange colour. big pine cone/hoppy notes with citrus and a decent malt background. very creamy tasting brew with a hoppy bitter taste, orange rind and citrus. outstanding brew.

Bottle at American Tap Room. Pours orange with a thin white head. Some citrus notes on the notes. Floral spice on the tongue with some pretty big hop bitterness on the finish. Nice balance for the most part. Score would probably be a little higher had it not been served in a refridgerated pint glass.

Pours a dark yellow/golden color - minimal head. Lots of carbonation. Very hoppy aroma. Medium bitterness, with bitter aftertaste. Slightly sour. Medium body.

A fantastic IPA. Cloudy orange/copper pour with a thick white head. Hop aroma shines with a bit of sweetness in there. Flavor is grapefruit, toasted malts, and kind of a woody taste. Very drinkable!! Excellent balance in this beer, will continue to purchase this one.

Misty golden pour, thin bubbly head. A bit dry on the palate but very pleasant. Great to enjoy in summer. Overall, a hop-forward but balanced IPA. Not overpowering, not overly bitter.

Bear Republic. Need I say more? This is the best IPA you can find for under $12 hands down.

Appearance was clear copper gold with a creamy diminishing whiteish 1 finger head, spotty lacing. Aromas where slight sweet pale malt with mild burst of citrus fruits of grapefruits, oranges, and lemons. Yeasts where slightly there and no hints of alcohol. Taste was sweet backbone of malt then the piney herbal spice of the hops blend well with the malts. Lighter smoother body with creamy carbonation, average length tarty hoppy finish. An easy IPA to drink, lighter...

22oz bottle from Crossroads Beer & Wine, Birlington, MA. Amber with a ring of white head; piney, citrus aroma; soft and spritzy in the mouth with some citrus to start, then the more resinous hops kick in, without being overpowering. This is a fairly well-balanced IPA.

Pine and very light citrus notes. On sale growler at the Piggly on Folly rd. always a go to IPA for me. Heavily hopped but it does have some balance.
