2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20I guess that where I’m at is that I’m not a fan of this, and I don’t know that you could be, it’s not a very good IPA and adding spices might just be that they’re aware of this and are covering up
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Lots of grapefruit on the nose didnt pick up the spices but I feel this beer wasnt very fresh. The color is clear pale yellow with moderate white head. The taste has some healthy bitterness but abruptly drops off to a dry finish. Very light bodied and easy to drink but not enough flavor to make it interesting.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Golden in color with a white head. Mild citrus, some hints of pine, and maybe floral notes. Coriander, pepper, and maybe some woody herbal notes. There’s a decent amount of citrus peel to the flavor, but something is off about it. Coriander, pepper, and pine. Strong bitterness on the finish. Mild malt sweetness. Meh.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Light golden pour. Lemon lime aroma with a citrus and floral taste. Not the best west coast ipa.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at brewery. Not as good as there other ipa’s, somewhat strange flavor. Unbalanced.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
650 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy copper color with a small white head that has fair retention. The aroma is mild with caramel, citrus and a touch of fresh coriander. The taste is somewhat piney with a touch of grapefruit and a bit of bitter coriander. The palate is somewhat uneven starting thin and building to a fuller conclusion. The finish is long and bitter. Overall--pretty good stuff.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hoppy nose which is a little resiny. Beer has floaties in it which I am assuming is the additions of citrus fruit. Given these additions I would have expected something more sweeter in style but to me it bought a sourness to the beer which did not sit well with the hops (put simply - not balanced).
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear pale orange. Bitter pine and fruit rind aroma. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is dominated by the bitter rind and pine notes. An interesting IPA, but nothing special
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
22oz bottle-thanks jtclockwork for sharing-pours hazy yellow with particles with a retaining white head. Aroma is lemon/lime, some wheat/light malt. Taste is lemon/lime, some wheat/light malt, quickly overtaken by biting hops. Drying finish.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bomber from Beverages 4 Less in Santee, CA. Pours hazy light amber with a creamy white head. Aroma is primarily resin. Med body. Flavor is like resin with some zest. I’m not sure citrus should count as spice - but? There’s a fair amount of floral to go with the resin. It’s quite bitter. Bitter like citrus rind in fact. Very different.
