3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught at the brewery. Very hazy gold color. Fruity and soft aroma with grapefruit and melon. Lots of melon and citrus flavors with lightly sweet toasty malt. Fruity overall with definite grapefruit. Strong bitterness in the finish. Soft and creamy mouthfeel. Bitter, sweet and fruity overall. I guess not really my kind of IPA.

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.

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.
