3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Mostly clear copper/burnt orange color. An off white head that was weak in size and retention. It left a minute amount of lacing. A couple bubbles rising to the top. More subdued aromas of grapefruit citrus and floral notes than what is typically found in an IPA I thought. It seems to provide a more pronounced biscuit malt. It’s balanced fairly well, but just insubstantial. This also has an apple juice type of aroma. Again, with the taste, the malt backbone seems to stand out a bit more than the citric bitterness. Small splashes of alcohol find their way into the flavor. The malt is reminiscent of biscuit and caramel. Picking up some earthy tones with some apple flavorings also. Medium mouthfeel. Relatively crisp and smooth. Slight alcoholic burn at the end. Left a little to be desired when covering the palate. Mostly dry in the finish also. This beer is just ok in my opinion. It’s nothing bad, but all aspects seem a bit feeble. This could be a good introductory IPA. The ABV is a bit high for a sessionable beer, but it’s still relatively easy to drink.

Great aftertaste. Pours smooth. Good IPA for an afternoon drink vs evening ( tastes lighter than other IPAs)

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
From the beer of the month club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright golden-amber color with a medium sized creamy beige head that lingered and produced good lacing. The aroma was bitter with moderate grapefruit, light pine and light pineapple. The flavor was dryish and nutty with a moderately strong grapefruit presence and light notes of pine and sour caramel. The finish was long and bitter with lingering grapefruit. Moderately full bodied. Decent.
