3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft at Smiling chameleon. Pours orange with an inch of white foam. A bit of grapefruit on the nose. Big hop bitterness at first but it caspars quickly to the point that the biggest thing you notice is the malt on the finish. It does hide its alcohol fairly well but it’s not my favorite example of the style.

On tap in a lager glass. Pours amber with an off-white head. Aroma of citrusy hops plus some pale and light caramel malts. Flavor the same. Average texture. Nothing really sticks out about this one.

Draught at Houghs Pgh. NITRO. Poured gold with creamy white head. Very piney with a citrus aromas. Smooth from the nitro with slight sweet bitter taste. Too much resin for me. Nitro helped.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aromas of pine, grapefruit and alcohol. Taste is much of the same with a bit of an overwhelming spirit taste that’s unusual for this abv range. Over all, a bit underwhelming but not abhorrent.

4 oz nitro draft sample at RFD DC. Gold with pillowy white head. Aroma: light grassy hops. Taste: grapefruit and floral hops. Creamy, mild.

Tap at Rattle & Hum. Cloudy light bee with a thin white head. Good lace. Nose is hoppy grassy and fresh. Tad of lemon. Mouth is massive hop attack, oily herbiness in the middle, touch of bourbon, bit of malt then a touch of caramel, tastes disappear quickly. Lasts massively brackish from the hops. Finishes boozy. Good, but not a fantastic IIPA.

Nitro pour at Teller’s, served in a 10 oz. tulip. Pours a clear golden color with an orange hue and a thick, creamy eggshell white head that leaves a perfect sheet of lace down the first couple inches of the glass. The aroma is extremely sweet; sugary sweet and semi-tart candy, heavy dough, and a little grapefruit. Flavor of doughy, sweet, bready malts, grapefruit, soap, and some phenols. Medium-bodied, with abundant but soft carbonation and a bready, soapy mouthfeel that has an alcoholic bitterness late. Very unusual DIPA.

Most interesting ipa I’ve had to date. At first, seems overly mild, but then rounds out. I honestly can’t wrap myself on this brew. Intriguing points 100%
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours clear copper with one finger white head. Pine aroma with sweet grapefruit. Slick mouthfeel with very little carbonation. Sweet up front with no real hop punch. Flat, bit of a dirty dry finish. Not as bad as Mojo but really not good. Not an old bottle either, as it says Enjoy By July 2013 and it is only April of the same year. Disappointed for sure.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle pour clear yellow with red hues. Nose of citrus hops. Initial taste grapefruit, floral, then sweetness. Slightly flat mid palate followed by bitterness and alcohol. Back to the citrus for the aftertaste.
