Growler shared by jcwattsrugger at the willblake is back in NJ tasting, thanks John. Poured a clear burnt orange body with a smaller soapy off white head. Aroma of some old citrus and bread. Medium bodied with a light lingering bitterness. Flavor is a slight stepdown from the aroma with old citrus rind, grape vines and bread. Meh, nothing special and a rather high IPA for a regular IPA.

Amber in color, clear with a thin head. Light hops aroma. This was like a Average Pale ale from other places. This was too light in hops for a good ipa.

Draft. Poured clear copper color with an average frothy off-white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy resin citrus hop and small malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Moderate to heavy citrus bittersweet flavor with a moderate to heavy bittersweet finish of medium to long duration. Very good brew.

Review from notes from my trip to Florida.
#5 of the night. Final beer and also the best. Poured into a pint glass.
4.0 A: Hazed amber color. Not sure about the head as it didn’t come with one, but there was a good amount of lacing.
4.5 S: Nice crystal backbone with a wonderfully hoppy aroma. Sugary with floral and citrus notes. Otherwise very clean.
4.0 T: Crystal maltiness again. Sugary and citrus hop flavor. Pretty damn good. Clean.
4.5 M: Medium body. Good moderate carbonation. Good creaminess and super smooth.
4.5 D: I saved the best for last. This is a pretty good beer. Solid all around.
Serving type: on-tap
