3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20on tap @ GIBF, nice IPA, needs a little more character, not enough hop taste and aftertaste, not enough body, but enjoyable.

A decent IPA. Dark amber, nose of citrus and maybe dried apple. Good body, relatively thick. Great lacing is a highpoint, appetizing to look at. Taste is good although somewhat straightforward and not totally integrated. Still, totally drinkable.

12 ounce bottle from Nikki’s Liquors. Pours a clear amber color with floating particles. Large frothy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of caramel malts with citrus and tropical hops. The taste is toasted malts and citrus hops. Faint lingering bitterness, medium bodied.

Bomber. Nice looking golden pour with a white head. Not as big on hops as most IPAs but this one is still pretty tasty and drinkable. Predominant flavors fall on the malt side.

12oz Bottle poured at Real Ales for Hope - Providence, RI. Aroma had a minty, leafy green hoppiness to it. Pours a nice darker caramel amber. Compared to the Pub Draught, I prefer the darker, maltier richer body to hold up against the rather metallic hops, but am still confused by the level of hopping that they’re willing to call IPA, personally.

An almost-India pale with the aroma of sugar and grapefruit. Copper beer that’s mildly turbid. Moderate head and lace. Taste is all sweet malt, with hops only perceptible in the middle. Has almost a chalky feel. Medium body, and not well carbonated. IPAs are consistently overrated here at ratebeer, and this one is no exception.

Mall Liquors, Boston 650ml ($5): Pours a amber color with a white head. Aroma is heavily slanted towards the land of malt, but some citrusy hops come through. Upon tasting it, it does taste somewhat sweet from the caramel malts. The subtle grapefruit flavor from the hops comes through and adds a nice little edge to this. This is ultimately not a particularly ambitious IPA, but a fine session ale.

From the 22 fl. oz. bottle. The pour is a non-fizzy, cloudy amber. The first scent that penetrates my nose is grapefruit....citrussy, acidic grapefruit. The hops seem to be buried behind that. The body is medium. The taste is also very grapefruit-like while the hops don’t make me pucker up. They feel more subtle that the typical IPA’s that I am familiar with. Yet it did have its own refreshing quality about it.

22 ounce thanks to Alldaydrinker. Labels says "Pub Draft IPA." Slightly sweet and bitter IPA. Golden body. Nice bitter hops. Aroma a bit malty. Some caramel in finish.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pub Draft IPA. A nice sweeter IPA that isnt very bitter. The malt bill is enough to overtake the hops a bit which is unfortunate. Flavor is pleasant and with more hops could be great.

Had both pub draft and regular. Bigger fruitler flavors in the pub draft. The other regular ipa just tastes watery. nuts,
