3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at Columbus Brewing Co on 12 March 2010. Ginger colour. Not much head. Fairly standard APA. Fair amount of perfumed hops on the nose. Clean enough. Rather soft mouthfeel. Pleasant drinking without generating too much excitement.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle acquired in trade with OhioDad (thanks!). This one poured all head (7 finger head vs. 1 finger of beer). When the head finally died down, poured a medium and lightly hazy brownish/amber color with the huge off white head. Small floaters. Aromas of light grapefruit, flowers and with some caramel. Tastes of oranges, grapefruit, and caramel. Lightly bitter with a light sweet balance.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a clear copper amber with a very big airy off-white head that leaves sticky clumps of lace behind as it subsides. Aroma has a nice fresh piney hop character with some mild citrus and metallic notes. Body starts with a semi-sweet toasty caramel maltiness turning more bitter and resiny, with some iron metallic flavor before a drier, lightly bready finish. Would probably be better if they’d check the mineral content of their water. Thanks to OhioDad for the bottle!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from OhioDad. Pours clean mahagony with a small rocky off-white film and spotty lacing. Fragrant floral hop and pine aroma, resiny with a medium roasted caramel malt (cookie) and citrus rind nose. Heavy bitter and acidic floral hop resin and rind spicy flavor that goes dry with a caramel malt body. Medium bodied and dry palate.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours gold with a white head. Smells of earth, tea, some caramel. Tastes perfumy and spicy with an earthy finish. Enjoyable.
