3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
on Tap at the brewpub. Moderate brown/amber with a thin white head and only flecks of lacing. Pale only moderate hop aroma and quite mild hoppy flavor. Quite tame for an IPA. Pleasant though and very drinkable.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at New Old Lompoc. Clear amber with a white head. CItrusy hop aroma. Flavor of bitter grapefruit and citric hops and a touch of malt, some caramel perhaps. The body was on the thin side with moderate carbonation. Decent, but can use more malt character.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Had this at the Horse Brass blind IPA tasting, Portland, OR - Orange. A very soft, leafy aroma with a little lime and kiwi amongst a hint of malt. Very malty like an English IPA or golden ale. Dry in a summery hay or straw way. Middling.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap @ Bend Brewing Co. Hazy orange with a white head. Aroma of orange zest, flowers and pine resin. Flavor is lots of bitter hops and a light caramel malt sweetness. Medium to light in body with a dry, bitter finish. This is an above average IPA with lots of great hop character and a clean finish. Great beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Very hoppy nose - big white head atop a cloudy yellow body. BIg biscuity malt backone with very floral hops. Pretty dry and very well balanced. Somewhat citrusy. Fantastic IPA.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sample at the Brew Pub in Bend. This was my favorite among all those sampled. Pours orange with typical white head. Traditional fruity, cascade style hops, and a decent bitter finish. True to the style. An easy drinker for IPA fans.
3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the brewery. This beer has a great aroma and the Cascade is prevalent. Deep amber with some haze and a white, well carbonated head. A nice taste, but the hops are not there as much as hoped and the malt has a bit of a kick midway through the palate.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Lots of hops, which does a pretty good job here. Amber color and a whiteish head. Maybe their best brew.
4.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Great Beer!!! Draft at Anthony’s in Bend! You have to try it! I wish they sold this beer in CA!
