2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle courtesy of CantillonKing. Served in a Hill Farmstead tulip.
Pours a very hazy orange-copper with a good white head that goes away almost immediately. A few spots of lacing. The nose has not much other than some bread and accompanying toasted crust. The flavor has a slight bit of light hop bitterness, but not any hop flavor. Bready malt, that’s it. Body is medium with a slight bitterness in the finish. Too chewy. Not a big fan of this.

Bottle. Deep yellow color, a little cloudy, nice white head. Aroma is floral but also mixed With some other tones sort of rough or slightly roast. Strong bitterness with release. Decent ipa but not one of my favorites.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 ounce. Pours a big carbonated head. Slightly metalic and grassy. Fairly decent hop profile. Ok IPA but not outstanding. Drinkable.

For 6.8 i thought this was a very nice drinking and enjoybale IPA but it was a little watery and flat. I understand the Organic has some drawbacks to it, but call it an APA then.

Orange pour with a medium white head. The beer is not completley clear and the head fades quickly. Nice lacing and good carbonation on the tongue. Aroma is buscuits and heavy malt along with floral hops. The taste is only slightly bitter, good malt character and kind of a metallic tinny finish that thankfully seemed to fade as I kept drinking the beer. Not a bad overall beer but the lack of hop aroma and taste along with the metallic finish make me think a 3 out of 5 rating is fair.

Not bad, not great, but very drinkable. A lot of "not too’s," i.e. not too hoppy, piney, citrusy or bitter. If I were served this IPA sight-unseen, I’d say, "not bad."
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle thanks to DLau. Pours a light bronze. Some hazing. Smallish cream coloured head. Big resiny hop aromas. A little light citrus and some light caramel. Flavours are super bitter with a resiny grassy finish. Medium mouthfeel.

Bottle. Tapping The Vine. Not a bad brew overall but definitely not the best. Flavor and aroma was pure, raw hop. Bitterness all throughout. I think this is a bitter beer lover’s dream. Tastes like a salad made with wildflowers, hops, and pine resin vinaigrette. The pour was probably the best feature, being a slight murky amber color with a reddish hue. Bold and hoppy but still refreshing.
