3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, picked up at Marcus Foods in Whitefish, MT. Pours hazy pale yellow/orange, similar color to Blind Pig or Hopslam. Medium to thinnish white head, quite persistent, spotty/ropey lacing. Nose is delicate spicy hops, some sweet juicy citrus, also light juniper and spruce. Some malt notes, flavours are well-balanced, juicy and correct, and the finish is spicy and bitter. A very classic IPA in my favorite style, just needs more "nuts" to it to really put it over the top. Solid.

I always enjoy sampling other people local wares. I must say the bottle was great looking and I did save this one. I pored this bottle into a shaker pint glass and got a reasonable two finger white head that lasted and laced the sides of the glass. The brew was a slightly hazy gold/amber in color.
The aromas were floral and citric something I expect in a IPA . The flavors mimicked the nose being hop forward but with a good balance maintained by the malts. It had a medium feel with good carbonation. The brew was very easy to drink, and I will say easily sesionable to me.

Mild aroma, golden and cloudy with a medium pillowy head. Decent but mild hoppy flavor.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
Overall, this beer was terrible, it was about as vile a beer as they come. I’ll avoid it like the plague form now on. I find it hard to believe its an IPA, might have been super old, but damn it was bland.

Light refreshing IPA, yellow orange in color... Aroma of citrus hops... Flavor is sweet and malty more like a pale ale than an IPA, not much bitterness on the palate... Hardly would call this an IPA, good beer however...

Medium-bodied and light golden in color. Citrusy on the palate with notes of orange peel and grapefruit. Hop presence is very subdued as this is almost wheaty in texture. Length shortens out a bit.
