3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20This is a pretty good IPA. Not as pungent on the schnoz or as "punchy" on the hop backend, but I had no complaints. Interesting brewing process, as describe in the descriptor. I’d like to let the brewer know that it’s got a decent hop presence, as it appears he was unaware of how hoppy it’ll be. I liked it. Would do business with again. A+++

Bottle. Pours amber, smells like an amber, and tastes like an amber. Not impressed for it’s style. There is a slight hop bite, but really this doesn’t represent a west coast ipa.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bit of a gusher. When it finally calms down, it pours golden copper, with a nice sizey white head. Big citrusy aroma, with a bit of honey and caramel Flavor is hop forward, which is to be expected. Dry, woody finish.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
22 oz bomber thanks to Matt: Pours a nice golden yellow with a good white head. Aroma of grapefruit and other citrus hops. Nice mellow IPA with a good bitter finish. Nice dry aftertaste of grapefruit that lingers. This one is a palate wrecker though as the flavor really lasts after you are finished drinking. Good example of a West Coast IPA but could be just a bit more sprucy and sweet for my preferences.

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
22. Pours a crystal clear rubied medium amber with a gigantic dense and surging pillowy, sudsy platinum blonde head. Tons of fish-eye lace. Very showy. Nice crisp caramel and soft orange peel nose. Creamy medium body with lively carb. Caramel, toast, nuts, orange peel, and tangerines on the mid palate. Long crisp acetic pithy grapefruit peel finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a clear amber color with a nice foamy white head. Aroma is floral. Taste is a floral hops, nice mouth feel. Great bitter after taste. Good beer! Thanks Uncle Steve!
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
22oz bottle $4.99 and marked at 6.5% ABV. Copper color, decent head, smells boring. Slight bit of hops and malt, really underwhelming. The taste was a step up, decent bitterness, hops, chewy malt and a thickness that is good. Definitely feels more like a string pale ale rather than an IPA. Not bad at all.

2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
22 ounce bottle purchased at The Davis Beer Shoppe. No clue how old or new this is, but they just got it in. Light resiny piney hop aromas are present, but the nose is dominated by a husky, woody, papery maltiness. Not so sure about the aroma on this. Unfiltered, moderately hazy ruddy-copper body with a strong, off-white head. Starts with a bit or a stale, papery, cardboardy flavoring, before this becomes pretty dry, bitter, and astringent towards the finish. Light soapiness in the middle. Not really balanced, and not the best experiment I have ever tried. Meh.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bomber to taster (thanks bunker). Looks malty; a hazy burnt-orange with fluffy off-white head. Smells MALTY with notes of hops. Tastes like it smells, only less hoppy and thin. Not a good beer, but it may not be very fresh.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Not a bad ipa at least this batch very bitter on back of tongue not to much for a hop head but probably for others. Pretty pleasant good head
