3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 CaptainCougar (6834) - Columbia, USA - JUN 19, 2011
12oz bottle: Pours a clear deep amber orange with a stringy-lacing off-white head. Has a lightly sweet toasted malty nose with a touch of citrusy hops. Starts with a decent fullness and sweet malty body with a fair amount of citrus hop bitterness before a slightly drier bittersweet finish. Could use a little more assertive hop profile, but is pretty drinkable.

This poured a darker yellow color with a white head. Aroma was straw, wet grass, and light herbal hops, with some caramel in there as well. Flavor was much the same, lgihtly bitter but seemed more of an astringency than from the hops, and pale/caramel malt. Not good.

Rated at the 2012 RB Pgh May tasting. Mild IPA aroma. Quite strong on the buds from the satrt. Chewing on green grapefruit rinds. Yes, yer typical IPA; bitter hoppy rude and lingering for quite a while.

Tap at Crum’s in St. Pete. Thicker white lace on clear gold. Sticky candy and sauerkraut nose. Taste is chemical. Sharply bitter. Oh god.

Bottle pours golden with white head. Aromas are wet basement and pine. Tastes are bland with some malt flavor and a bit of hoppiness. The beer is very blah. Overall, I would not drink it again.

Citrus och blommor i aromen. Bra. I smaken hittas grapefrukt, citrus och apelsinskal - men det känns tunt och inte äkta. Lite artificiell smak.

Tampa, FL - Total Wine - 12 oz bottle. Medium copper pour, light, but persistent off-white head. Aroma has some milk-soaked cereal notes, a hint of dates - odd for an IPA - but not unpleasant. Flavor has some sweet nutty notes to it, some nectarine-like fruitiness, and just a whisper of citrus. Mouthfeel is thick enough. Not one for the ages - but drinkable.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 tricyclist (70) - Spring Hill, Florida, USA - FEB 19, 2012
Wow, I definitely wasn’t impressed with this one. Pretty off-setting taste. Aroma was mild, not too hoppy, wheat-like.. flavor was a stale/fresh cut grass, bland hops that taste like they may have sat awhile, even though the keg was fresh. The color isn’t too bad, fairly deep straw/goldenrod and the body wasn’t too bad either, however, I didn’t too much want the flavor to linger. Definitely not passing for my standards. Not a fan.
