3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Growler from American Beer. Copper with nice lasting head and lace. Spicy hops and brown sugar aroma. Brown sugar fruit caramel biscuit with spicy bitter assertive dry finish. Not the citrusy IPA I love, but still good.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught. Copper pour with a thin off white head. Aroma of malt and peppery hops. Sharp, almost overpowering taste of hops that masks any other characteristics, with some sweet malt in the background. I agree with a previous reviewer, more like an American Pale, lacking that typical citrus IPA flavor.

UPDATED: MAY 14, 2010 hops are underwhelming and unbalanced. some nice maltiness and brown sugary sweetness makes this more of a pale ale than an IPA. texture is watery
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at S&P Oyster House. Hazy amber with thin white head. Hint of toasted malt and citrusy hops. Sharp hop bite with some malt balance, hoppy finish that lingered with a dry green flavor. Palate was medium. Nothing outstanding.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle Courtesy of Joe. Pours amber with pillowy white head, decent lacing. Another big dicetyl mess with bitter and corn being the overarching aromas. Not much malt, a bit of bitter, and a whole lot of blech.
