3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
an almost budweiser color, complete with bright white head. nose had spice-accented hop characteristics, a little musty, with hints of orange. hoppy flavors were very dry and orange like and the finish was sometimes grainy and chalky. the yeast here does not seem to contribute anything positive the overall beer but rather lets the hops and malts alone try to make this beer, and the hops and malts certainy need some help.

On tap at O’brien’s. Pours with an orange-gold body topped by a thin head with little to no lacing. It’s slightly sweet and toasty with a grassy note and lots of noble hops. A nice English style IPA. Light to medium bodied and slightly dry yet smooth.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught at Lucky Baldwins, Pasadena, California. Hazy golden, small head. Light grapefruit aroma. Dry, clean and crisp. light bodied - perhaps too much so. Quite hoppy with medium bitterness. A very drinkable summer beer, but the light body in combination with clean mouthfeel makes it a bit sharp. Scaling their regular IPA down didn’t really work all that well, but it’s stil a worthwile effort.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On draft at O’Briens. Hazy amber with a small whitish head and spots of lace. Mild aroma with light toasty notes, complemented by bright and juicy floral and citrus hops. Somewhat thin, toasty malt back bone, generous hop character, lemon peel, floral and somewhat resiny flavors, blossoming into a nice tangy hop finish and astringent aftertaste. Light body with gently crisp carbonation. I’ll agree with Papajohn - this is more of an extra pale ale.
