2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Rare beer. First time aroiund I missed this on tap at the bocktown. This time, I got a taste. Rare beer. Hah, just what I thot, a apa advertized as an ipa. Smells like your girlfriends BO, but in an inviting way. Hey, not an ipa, just a well behaved apa, no lie. Yes, some mild bitterness but for the most part never gets near ipa status. Friendly and easy to take. If this is an ipa, its one of the best I’ve tasted.

Darkish in color. Nice frothy head and caramel aroma. Light to drink but full flavor.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft. Deep amber body with a off-white head. Raw hop aroma: Resin, caramel, pine, toasted grain. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Earthy raw hop flavor, but falls short of a resin bomb. Some husky grain tempered with pepper and grapefruit.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Very, very good. Hop aroma is big, flavor is all hops but still not over the top. Drinks very easy, very smooth. I’m going back for more of this awesome APA.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at Capone’s. Pours deep copper with off-white head. Big resiny piney hops in the nose, with spare caramel malt. Tastes very resiny piney, and hoppy, with notes of black pepper, grapefruit, and caramel malt. This one is smooth and quaffable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Gingerman after our our bar crawl through Brooklyn. Pours a faintly hazed amber orange with a thin to medium sized white to beige head. Spicy hops, malt, toast. Earthy but a bit empty. Malty, soft malt, toast, long light bitterness. Easy drinking but still overall just a bit lacking.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tried at Coffee District in Delray Beach, Fl. Pours a very nice, deep red. Good two finger head and some lace. Mild hops but with that refreshing wet hop flavor.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled on draft at the Headkeeper this beer poured brown with caramel highlights and a medium sized foamy dark tan head that left decent lacing. The aroma was pine, catbox, patchouli and had an earthy undertone. The flavor was roughish pine, catbox, patchouli, pepper, mint and again had an earthy quality. Long pine, patchouli and mint finish. Medium bodied. Solid.
