3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice coppery yellow, slow effervescence. Muted malt aroma. Tangy, medium bitter - not super hoppy and more of a PA than IPA style. Very clean and drinkable. Longish hop-bitter finish. Some sunflower seeds and nuts. Great balance.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours a light copper color with a small white head. Nose is grassy and lightly apricot. Palate is thin lightly dirty. Flavors of grass, lightly dry and fruity.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Light orange, not very hoppy, and not bitter. Makes me wonder if the 1634 and IPA got switched.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at the source. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, grass. Taste is pineapple and citrus. Nice.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear orange with a thick white head. Aroma of hop oils, sweaty hops, citrusy hops. Flavor of spicy hops, caramel malt, with a sharp hop bite in the finish. A touch of crystal malt. The flavor is more malt-dominant. But overall a very tasty ipa!

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nice caramel and hop aroma. Sweet body with a good hop flavor. Pretty balanced. One of my favorite beers from Brewers Alley.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap. Pours a clear dark gold with a small wispy white head that retained as a thin film. Citrusy and almost blueberry like nose with some light pils malt. The flavor is quite odd, there’s just a minimal amount of bitterness, but the hops are really floral and fruity. Light bodied and fizzy with a slight lingering fruity finish. A pretty weird beer, but I enjoyed it.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask @ the brewpub. Pours a hazy pale amber color with a small longlasting off-white head. Has a fruity malty weak hoppy aroma. Fruity malty hoppy flavor with hints of citrus. Has a fruity malty hoppy finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours the color of unpopiates gold with thin white head. Despite their claims of dry hopping I’m not getting a lot on the nose. Slight citrus hints on tge tongue and I do mean slight. Finish is a bit soapy.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught. Some hops on the nose, but not too strong and not much else. Nice amberish color with a cream colored head. Palate is a bit lighter than what you expect, and other raters have said, it is more of a pale ale than an IPA. Decent, but a bit lacking in depth in my opinion.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Picked up a six pack of this while schlepping around the eastern shore. Clear amber brew with off white head. Aroma of crisp hops, mild maltiness. Taste is medium malt with a fine hoppy finish. Hoppiness is not as pronounced as most modern IPAs and I’d liken the flavor profile more to a pale ale than an IPA - a really fine pale ale - but is good all around. Palate is somewhat on the light side. OVerall, a fine brew.
