2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
On-tap at Hunaphu. This was probably my least favorite beer of the day, shows how strong of a day it was... Pour a hazy amber with some copper. Off white head, ok retention and lacing... The aroma is a little blah, light orange peel on the front, then chemical pine. Hoping this improves... The taste is pretty dead on the front then dusky floral hops. Doesn’t taste bad, just boring... I wouldn’t have this again.

on draft. Amber beer with a thin off white head. Not much scent, some malts and hops. Not as hoppy as I prefer, still decent.

Very good beer. By far my favorite at Bold City. Again very surprising since this beer is still an IPA.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Growler from the brewery. Pours a deep copper color topped by a huge and lasting off white head of foam. The aroma is full of chinook hops adding hints of floral and citrus. The flavor follow with the citrus and floral hops adding nice bitterness and balanced out by the toffee malt and some earthy spices. Medium bodied and a touch sticky on the mouthfeel with ample carbonation. This is a fairly nice and sessionable ipa.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Bold City. It poured deep copper with white head. The aroma is strangely Chinook like with spice, earthiness and some citrus. The taste is much the same with a mix of spice and earthy hops along with sweet malts and citrus. It has a pleasing thin layer of sweet malts creating some balance to the largely hoppy flavor.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap@ the brewery.
Pours orange/golden, beige head.
Aroma is fairly straight forward with unique hop aroma adding some pine, floral touch. The malty character seems to be subdued and I picked up more of the hop profile.
Flavor was similar, some floral, pine notes with light malty characteristics.
Hops add to the mouthfeel though not retaining too much bitterness and adding apricot like flavor.
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
New to Jax, love this place, hometown brew lover in paradise. This is my favorite so far.Grapefruit bitterness, clean beer yet harsh finish, complex if you will give it the time. Dark hue looks like a red or a high gravity IPA but yields a drinkable brew, but the smell will really get you. Look for great things from this place, give them time.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap @ Bold City. Clear, solid copper color. Aroma of fruity, floral hops. Light raspberry essence. Flavor is very light. Distant caramel malt, very nice hop flavors. Wish this one could be a bit bolder. Needs texture. 25 July 09
