4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: MAR 24, 2005 Rerate: 3/24/05: I just poured a 60 minute and it produced the largest head I have seen in a domestic beer in a long time. I have upgraded the appearance to a 5. 2/3/05: Citrus aroma with sweet malt and dry hops. Orange body, slightly hazy with slow but steady carbonation. Small, off-white head is mostly diminishing. Nice, uneven lace. Has more of a hop bite than I anticipated for "only 60" IBUs. Peppery, with a faint buttery aspect. Initial mouthfeel is more alcoholic than 6% would warrant. Excellent. I still may prefer the 90 minute, but it doesn’t have much on this one. Sometimes less can be more. And that certainly is the case when comparing to the 120 minute. Has session qualities but may be a little peppery to take down more than 4 or 5., This is a beer I’d love to have a keg of to pull off of when I pleased. Wonderfully full bodied and complex with cedar notes.

12 ounce bottle, to me it was a weaker version of the 90 minute IPA, decent overall, but 90 is where it is at.

12oz bottle that’s been in the fridge for a long long time. One finger white head. Rust-colored body. Fair amount of carbonation. Interesting flavor. Starts out with bitterness, but there’s a sweetness that appears all of a sudden. Will have to try a fresher bottle to see if it’s any different. Will rerate if so.

12 oz. Bottle dated 5/04/12, poured 5/28/12. Sweet candy hop scent with a hint of grain. Translucent copper with little head, mostly a white ring. LIghter than medium body with a crisp finish. Taste fronted by grassy hay hop, grain note, and a big bitter finish.

3.6 Bottle pour into shaker glass. This IPA could be used as a standard to compare other IPA’s. Not because it is the best IPA: it doesn’t push the envelope. It has a nice aroma, moderate hoppiness and bitterness. It tastes very good, but it is not complex.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle 355 ml. Clear golden beer with a small white head. Nose is heavy fresh grass, pine and citrus. Taste is citrus and fresh grass with moderate bitterness. Mouthfeel is dry with a medium duration of the aftertaste. Good session beer.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours clear golden. Strange but pelasant grass aroma, along with pine, citrus, and hops. Taste is well balanced between bitterness and some sweet. A little thin. A good, not outstanding IPA.
Robe dorée claire. Étrange et plaisant arôme de gazon, accompagné de pin, d’agrumes et de houblon. Goût bien balancé entre l’amertume et le sucré. Mince en bouche. Une bonne IPA.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Too much hype behind this. Extremely dry and dull taste. 90 minute IPA is far better.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aroma: hay, citrus. Appearance: golden, clear, minimal head. Taste: light sweetness, lightly bitter. Palate: light body, thin feel, soft carbonation, Short finish. Overall: Some what dissappointing and had virtually no aroma. Average
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Delicious IPA. Pours pale amber, clear with a small off-white head that dissipates quickly with good lacing. Extremely citrus/grapefruit aroma, backed by a definite coffee smell. Taste is slightly sweet, with strong citrus notes and a bitter finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle - pours gold with rich white head. Flavor is caramel, grass and citrus. Taste not as bitter as I expected. This is pretty good. A fruity aftertaste.
