3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep amber color with a creamy off white head. Aroma is hoppy, but also quite subtle. Flavor is all citrus but also rounded out with some of the darker malts used. Bitter finish, but also crisp and smooth.

Medium copper-colored body with little head. Aroma of Cascade hops and caramely malts. Flavor is moderately bitter with citrus and peppery hops. Finishes dry and bitter. A nice summer quaffer.

On tap at Coddingtons. Arrived at the table a clear coppery red with a medium white head. Pleasant aroma of citrus and some very light pine along with some caramel. Flavor is very much like the aroma. This beer is a typical east coast IPA that is very drinkable and doesn’t try to overpower your taste buds. Good stuff.

Pours copper with a small white head. Smells of citrus and pine with some caramel underneath. Tastes resiny with some underlying bitterness and a semi-sweet earthy finish.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
An americanized version of a traditional style IPA, nothing 90-minute-ridiculously-overdone, cascade hops is a break from style, but otherwise, a pleasant, drinkable IPA, nothing over the top. Nice work. Second best beer in the sampler of 7.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy gold with an eggshell head. Citrusy grapefruit nose, piney notes. Flavor follows the nose with a tad more pine and a bit of bread. Tight lace rings. Good finisher for the night.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This beer has a great smell as well as a really nice hoppy tast like an IPA should. It is a great beer to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon, especially in the brewery hanging out.

On tap at the Coddington Brew Pub. Poured a medium golden / amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of citrus with light pine. Tastes of the same with a grapefruit finish. Light lacing left on the glass.

I really enjoyed this one. Strong flavor from start to finish. The beer I think of when I hear IPA.
