GABF ’07. Pours clear amber small, fizzy, off-white head, lasting head, spare lacing. Aroma is average malt (cereal, meal), average hops (flowers, citrus), light yeast (sweat, soap) with notes of peach. Light bodied, thin texture, soft carbonation, and a bitter finish. Short duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Not a bad IPA. This beer is dominated by the pine tar astringency that I really don’t care for, but otherwise it is well made. On the smaller side, its still has flavor, body, alcohol and is well attenuated. This beer is worth trying if you happen to find it.

Hoppy aroma, medium bitter and medium body. Good brew for a summer afternoon.

Not too shabby, but nothing to write home about.... easy drinking, light, and hoppy.

2.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a nice thick head, color is a bit of a dark amber. Nose is subtle pine. Taste is watery and piney. Not a westcoast Ipa and honestly a mediocre ipa. Just OK.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Can poured a clear golden amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of biscuit, floral notes, orange zest and light pine. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of biscuit, earthiness and citrus with a crisp dry lingering bitter finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Canned sample. Orange in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas are a mix of white and pink grapefruit, pine shavings and sap, caramel, and leaves. The C-hops have a nice semi-sweet grapefruit juice quality about them on the palate, and blend well with the light caramal, pale malt, and fresh cut pine flavours. I get a bit of a floral note in there too, which is quite nice. Moderate bitterness and clean finishing. A very solid mid-west IPA. I’m a bit surprised its overall scores are so low.
