3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Froim the 12 fl. oz. bottle with no lot code or bottled/expiration date. The pour is a cloudy amber with about an inch of foamy beige head and a lot of lacing on the glass. The aroma is distinctly hopped and very clean. Bold but smooth mouthfeel. A good hoppy taste to it along with something that reminds me of bananas. It has a nice freshness about it.

On tap at brewery - clear amberish orange. Slight hops aroma. I’d expect more from an IPA. Smooth drinking. Nice malt flavor and balance. Tastes more like a pale to me. Slightly metallic.

1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
This one is not good. Think of what it would taste like to pour a homeless mans change cup in your mouth. Thats the best description of the taste I can come up with. Dirty metallic, spoiled meat, caramel, grassy hops. Two sips and a drain pour.
1.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
Metal, burnt plastic. Absolutely no ipa or even beer flavors. What the fuck? This is horrid. Skunked pils malts. Fucken terrible!!

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz. bottle. Foam oozes out of the bottle and onto the counter when the beer is opened. Pours a mostly clear antique gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted through the first third of the glass and left partial lace. The aroma is dusty malt and weak citrus. The flavor is malt, slightly sweet, followed by some mild-moderate hops bitterness that is weakly flavored with citrus. A bit spitzy on the palate. Timid for an IPA; not a bad beer, just restrained.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A - Served a bright and slightly haze copper-orange color with a finger of frothy white head. The head reduced down to a spotty layer and a ring and left behind some nice lacing on the glass.
S - Aroma has some nice pine hop aroma and a touch of caramel malts in the background. Touch of citrus hop also in the background.
T - Starts off with some nice pine hop flavor and some caramel malt backbone. Touch of citrus hops also mixed in. Through the middle there is a bit more hop coming through. The finish has a blend of hops with some nice bitterness and a touch of sweet malt that lingers nicely.
M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. There is nice dry finish at the end with the bitterness. Pretty crisp and refreshing.
D - Very drinkable. Decent hop profile, but it could use a bit more of a punch for an IPA. Otherwise fairly well balanced, it a little tones down.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours a clear amber brown with a tan head that dissipates slowly and laces beautifully and thickly. Aroma has some light fruits with a strong bread backbone and a good amount of grains as well. Flavor is full of bread as well with a slight light citrus note and a hint of pine.
