3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
This is an extrememly hoppy ale, which is what turned me on about it the most. Another than that nothing really spectacular about this IPA. I did however enjoy the very bitter finish.

Typical IPA aroma, slight hints of citrus. Flavor is not very bitter, but has the feel of a hoppy beer. Nice rich amber hue and thin white head. Has a lasting palate of an IPA, so I"m happy with it.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft from brewery: Amber in color, with a thinnish head. A very hoppy aroma, with just a bit of sweetness. Flavor is very hoppy overall, a bit of malt and sweetness to balance, and just a touch of bitterness at the finish. A good beer overall.

Yowza! Thanks to alcfron to sending this to me since I have been too lazy to drive the 2 hours to Buckeye Brewing. This 22oz beast pours a nice clear copper color with a medium off-white head and some lacing. Mild effervescence it notable, it makes the beer much more pleasing to the eye. Strong hops aroma will make you blink. Appropriately biting hops flavor makes me look forward to trying the ’76. Just a pinch of toasted malt and caramel keep the hops from being overwhelming. Nice dry finish. This is a good IPA.

1st off thanks alcfron for this brew. That’s why I love this site. This beer is one of the better IPA’s that I’ve had. Great aroma of the hops. Great taste of the hops, and great finish with the hops. A wonderful beer, a must try for any hop head!

Copper colored out of the bottle with a thick, frothy off-white head and a piney, sharp hop nose. Very much a west coast style IPA. Great balance of sweet and bitter. Nice citrus flavor over a strong malt backbone without that pinching grapefruit taste you get in some extreme IPAs. Very smooth and fresh. It does bring to mind the White Knuckle, but I think this has a better overall taste. Seek this beer out. Thanks to alcfron for my bottle.
