3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Growler fill at True Vine in Brunswick. Great aroma with a solid hop and malt foundation. Clear dark gold on the pour with a generous thick head. Typical IPA flavor of floral piney hops and sweet malt with a bonus hint of apple wedged in. Another example of the right coast catching up with the left coast with fine IPA’s.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Comes out of the tap a hazy dark amber with a fine-bubbled pale tan head. Tempting as everything! Rich, hoppy aroma has a malty underpinning and a good fruity note. Generously hoppy flavor has a nice fruity and malty undertone; bitterness is not minimal, but not ferocious either. Got some woody, apple and grapefruit notes in there plus a hint of fresh-cut pine. Body is firm, and fizz is quite lively and persistent. Another must for IPA fanatics!

Very clean with citrus aroma. No haze and finishes with slight malty flavor.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 10/20
No much initial taste in this one. Hoppy aftertaste though. Muted aroma. Not very exciting. It's not bad, just average IMO.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma is floral hops, caramel, and citrus. Poured a clear golden color with a decent white head that went away quick. Taste is medium bitterness, with a nice floral and pine mix going on. Palate is light body, thin feel, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Decent nothing really special.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at Dawson St. Pub in manayunk ’10. I believe it has closed since then, sucks. Pours clear orange, thick white head. Aromas and taste of bitter hops, lemon, smokey caramel. Bitter finish. Just alright.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Very floral aroma. Very light appearance. Semi sweet flavor. Tastes sort of watered down. But overall fairly good. Finish is super super hoppy like I expected. Not a huge fan of pale ales because I think they can be plain. This is like most of the others.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured from 12oz bottle, pours a clear orange almost amber with a thin head, the aroma has some hop character but is pretty lacking overall, the flavor seems like it is missing a punch, slight citrus and hops but there really isn’t a lot there, kind of thin mouthfeel as well.
