3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours big and orange with a foamy white head. Aroma is big and fruity, pine needles and citrus dominate. Flavor is somewhat balanced, lots of caramel malt underlies a blast of primarily cascade hops, not terribly complicated or subtle, but gets the job done. A passable IPA, though not superb. I don’t know if I got a good bottle, but I’m not catching some of the flaws from other ratings.

This one poured a hazy orange mix of small yeast floaties below a slightly off white head that soon fades to a film. Nose is quite the fruity hops and some slight citrus, earthy, and slight herbal notes. Flavor is far more citrus and floral hops along with some caramel and biscuit and/or toasted malts. Slightly sweet finish but had a heavy bitterness punch to top it off. This wasn’t too bad. I never really like the toasted notes to IPAs and could have tolerated more intense citrus and flowery hops. Other than that i enjoyed it.

A lot of head at first, but went away pretty quickly. Tons of sediment. Oily hops aroma. Oily hops in the taste too, balancing out heavy malts. On the heavy side, but not overly bitter. Good IPA

I was really looking forward to this. I’ve had other Charleville beers that have been excellent. The initial aroma was wonderful, but was soon over powered by yeast. There was way too much yeast for an IPA, to the point that it settled at the bottom of my pint glass in a pile about the size of a quarter. Surely I got the bottom of the barrel?

Floral, spice and alcohol aroma. Did not expect the alcohol to be present for a 6.5% beer. Pours a very deep orange with off-white head. Lots of malt, but nice floral flavor as well. Some bitterness and spritzy carbonation. Some cloying aspects from the malt.

22oz bomber from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Pours a hazy orange with about 3 fingers of white head. Aroma of grapefruit and orange citrus. Taste is medium bitter and very light sweet. Taste of orange, grapefruit and light caramel. Medium bodied with a creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, its really good. I’m actually very surprised how good it is considering it was only 4 bucks for the bomber. Would totally drink this again.

bottle.. really dark ipa, medium copper with a light orange hue, nice colored head of light cream tan, watery... weak nose with only a bit of pine, alcohol, generic malt base... tastes pretty rough, tons of alcohol for only a 6% beer, harsh chemical hops with the alcohol dominate, not very good
