3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap at Barcade. Slightly hazy pale orange appearance. The nose is lightly spicy and fruity with distinctly less orange character than is in the pale ale. Fairly assertive bitterness on the back. It’s nice enough, but it’s not quite as punchy as I’d like it to be. It’s a good beer, but it could certainly be better.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A golden IPA with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt and floral hops, nice and smooth. In mouth, biscuit malt with British hops, oily mouthfeel, not bad. On tap at TAP NY, April 28, 2012.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Tasted at the NYC Craft Beer Fest. Sweet floral nose, lots of caramel, tootsie roll, toffee. Sweet and chewy with a floral and bone dry finish. Strange malt profile for an IPA, but interesting and good.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at DBA. Not sure if I loved or hated this weird beer. Soapy, papery, very unusual. Nice hops, nice body, nice aroma, sweet and mango/orangey. Intriguing, and in the end I didn’t want a second. Curious to try this fresh at the brewery rather than casked.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy, darker golden with decent dense head. Hoppy bite, fully palate and fuller body. Aroma is dense, malty and hoppy. Not overly sweet nor overly hoppy character. Decent.

1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Did not enjoy this IPA seems to be skunk as well as too bitter to have any real flavor. This is one IPA that you should stay away from at all costs
