3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at BP Old Towne. Hazy deep amber-tan. Foamy beige/off-white head. Sort of odd. Some apple tones among the caramel and specialty malt richness. Almost a touch of Rye. A little off, but drinkable.
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Coppery color with a huge foamy off white head that overpowers. Earthy, herb like flavor that holds a floral hoppiness. Taste of vegetables (in a bad way) such as broccoli, beans, cabbage. A rather mediocre IPA.

12 oz bottle (thanks Samp01). Pours amber with an off-white, thick, long lasting head. Aroma is of citrus hops and grain. Full, crisp body. Citrus hops, grain and bready malt fill the mouth. Long, hoppy finish. Many of Climax beers have this grainy taste. And if it is proper in their Helles, and somewhat proper in their Oktoberfest there is too much of the taste in this brew.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Fresh bottle from NJ. Surprisingly very drinkable and a nice orange citrus taste. Pleasant mildly hoppy aroma. Pours a light orange with a little retained head, and good lacing down the glass. Medium bodied with abve average carbonation. Nice one.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask at TJ’s: Aroma of diacetyl and some cream. Poured amber in color with a large, creamy, dense, off-white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Hazy. Not sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of diacetyl. Medium body. Slightly dry texture. Cask carbonation. Diacetyl finish. Aren’t IPAs supposed to be bitter?
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
12oz bottle
A:grassy/citrus/vegetal hops, no malts
T:bready malts, grassy,fruity hops
This beer does not taste like an IPA. The flavors do not meld well with one another. Super bitter.
