Source: 12 oz bottle in a sampler pack. Purchased at Friar Tuck’s in Peoria.

Aroma: Piney hops and caramel malt.
Flavor: Caramel malt base with a strong pine flavor. Lingering bitter finish.
Palate: Medium body with good carbonation and a clean mouthfeel.
Overall: Very good. Being a big fan of Moose Drool, I wanted to try some of their other beers. This one was excellent.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Amber pour with little head. Nose is dominated by sweet fruits, caramel and light floral notes. Flavor lends a solid blend of citrus, flowery notes, and moderate caramel malt flavors with some toasted and cereal malt flavors. Light to medium light body with a dry finish. Pretty good IPA.

CASK at Jerry’s. Hazy orange-amber with light, white head / Delicate nose of pine and dry hops / Light to medium body, a touch watery, with good balance and dry finish / Mild flavors of toast, orange, grapefruit, and pine / Pleasant and mild, probably more in the style of an English pale.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
August 2011. Almost abrasively bitter with a resinous tongue-coating afterward. Sweetness and some fruity hop flavor make for a brief flash of Hawaiian punch in the middle. Not as aromatic as I’d like, nor as drinkable. Sadly fairly typical of the American IPA trend, late ’90s edition.

I really like this IPA. Nice pine, hops and citrous notes with an additional roasted flavor coming through in the end. Not bad at all.

In the glass it has a dark amber color in the glass. Aroma is all IPA with floral and pine. Taste falls a little short. It starts out with some grapefruit and a mild bittrer bite. After that the taste falls off and has a weak finish.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a nice clear golden amber with a off white color creamy head that diminished withing five minutes which was unfortunate but left really nice lacing. The aroma was a very citrusy grapefruit with hints of pine and maltyness. Taste was very crisp with a bold citrus grafruite flavor. Had a kind of ashy after taste on the palate but sat clean. Overall this is a fruity ipa which I do like and would recommend.

When looking for an IPA this is an average IPA and I was left looking for more bitterness and I did not have desire to want another.

4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Huge citrus hop aroma, firm bitterness without astringency. Sweet malt balances well. Finish is crisp and flavorful. One of my favorite IPAs.
