2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Had on tap.
Arrived a nearly clear amber with a thick one finger head.
Smells very piney, like and evergreen forest or a christmas tree farm. Not much malt detectable.
Taste like someone poured a shot of gin into an amber ale. Overwhelming pine leading to a harsh, acrid bitterness on the back of the throat, a tiny bit of bready grain is present but is overwhelmed by the pine and bitterness. Not balanced at all and not good.
I’m a little surprised and disappointed by this beer. I seem to remember it being much better the last time I had it which was quite awhile ago. I would love to support my local brewery but this beer has GOT to improve.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JAN 21, 2011 Pours a deep amber with a nice off-white head. The aroma is not that prominent, especially for an IPA. The taste is very nice though, with a perfect amount of bitterness. Tastes more like an English-Style IPA than an American. Overall a good beer. 3.7

On tap at the Kingsport Grocery. Earthy aroma, with hints of citrus. Not my favorite IPA’s, but the best of the Depot Street beers I’ve tried.
