3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle pours hazy amber with a off white head. Aroma of malt and pine, it’s just real subtle. Taste is malt and bitter pine.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A average IPA. Not certain it delivers the hop bitterness as advertised. Color is hazy / coppery. Aroma give hint of hops. Taste is predominantly malty but gives way to the hops. Finish was malty. Left me wanting of more hoppy bitterness.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Tasted from 12oz brown bottle into a nonic glass. It poured a orangish-amber colour with weak white foam, very little lace. Aromas and flavors of American-C hops: grapefruit, pine resin, citrus rind. Beyond tart, in fact so bitter it verged on astringent. Too hoppy to be pleasant, in my opinion. Can’t tell much about the malt or yeast underneath. Medium body, low carbonation, long-lasting bitter aftertaste. Not bad, per se, but it tasted pretty much like every other high-IBU American IPA from the last several years.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 3/20
This is a pretty disappointing IPA. You can always find something better than this. I want it to be better because its local to me but it isn’t very good. Almost no hop flavor or aroma. Blend of hops that you can’t tell anything specific. Bitterness is there but thats about all. Over carbonated in a six pack. Had on tap once before too and it was pretty much the same.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle. Thick bubbly head, laces well, burnt orange hazy color, nice. Aroma is pretty good, appetizing, floral & hoppy. Taste is a little harsh for me, finish leaves something to be desired. Medium-body, lacks the silky taste I like so much in other IPAs. Just OK.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
bottle. amber orange with very small head. fruity, floral hops with big bitter finish. seems slightly unbalanced.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Rock on, Summer Santa! Bright orange pour, slightly oily look but still well carbonated, almost overwhelmingly so to start. Nose big and fruity and sweet, like hop-dosed Orange Crush almost. Worked well for me mid-cookout at JCB manor, with a floral sweetness backed up by serious hop extract bitterness. Not the most coherent IPA, I suppose, but solid and enjoyable.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pale copper with a thin white head. Fruity aroma with bitter hop undertones. Crisp hop bitterness with flavors of orange and apricot.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Hazy golden color, small white head. Aroma of pure pine needles. Taste is bitter pine resin. OK.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Aroma of water and hops. Very mellow aroma, you can get the scent but it seems halfway done. The mouthfeel is watery as wel, but the flavors are nicely done within that. Slightly bitter, mostly bland, not a terrible beer but I’d definitely say that it leaves a lot to be desired. 6.5% abv.
