3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the Barrel House. Pours a clear copper color with a small white head. A sweet grassy and fruity nose. The flavor is simple and clean; earthy,fruity, fairly dry, light and easy. Decent.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Raccoon Lodge. Some bitterness throughout with mild citrus and Pine flavors. Well balanced with a malty sweetness in the background. Smooth finish, but no kick. Not a weak brew, just not very strong fo an India Pale Ale.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at the brewpub. Gold with a lasting white head. Piney, citrus, and lightly tropical hoppy aroma with high intensity. Some richer bready malt in the flavor with a medium light sweetness. Bitterness is medium-high and hop flavor is floral and fruity. It’s ample but not distinct. Medium-light body. A solid drinkable IPA that leans a little more on the sessionable side than huge hop-bomb side.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
[2956-20100626] Tap. Mild plastic aroma, not much of anything. Clear, pale orange yellow body with a quick foamy white head. Bitter citrus yeast flavour has mild yeast notes. Mild bitter medium body. Nice bitter, could bring about more bulk.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Not as flavorful as the pale ale, but still loaded with nice english hop character. A nice break from the monotony of the hop race.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Bailey’s Taproom in Portland. Light pour, with floral hops countering mild caramel malts. It’s a nice standard, but not amazing in any way.
