3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Location: Draft at the Fells Point Brew Pub, 9/6/09
Aroma: Some citrus, hops, a bit spice, some floral essence in there as well
Appearance: Clear golden color, lots of lace on the glass
Flavor: A nice hoppy flavor with a good amount of spice and caramel malts for backing
Palate: Medium bodied brew, lingering flavor
Overall Impression:
This was a pretty average IPA, not great, not bad. Something you could drink no problem, but not something you’d go out of your way for. Try this one at DuClaw as you are sitting outside enjoying the view.

Draft @ Arundel Mills location. Copper color, huge floral bouquet nose. Smelled GOOD. Description says "just enough" malt...but I disagree. This was bordering on hop water as the malt bill fell short. Again, OK beer, nothing fantacular.

Golden color with an earthy hop aroma. Flavor was a bit soapy and medicinal. Ok, but something was a tad off.

this is the beer that replaced my beloved Venom. it’s not bad, but it’s a little weak for an IPA. More like an APA. pours light orange amber with a white head. lots of lacing. malty, hoppy aroma. spicy hops. taste is malt and hops. pretty straightforward.

On tap @ Arundel Mills. Clear orange color w/a slight white head. Strong pine hop aroma. Strong hop flavor up front, really stronger than I would prefer. Traces of grapefruit as well, but I thought this one was a little more one dementional, could use a little more balance on the finish, ala DFH 90 Minute. Its a Hop Bomb & the hop heads will love it though, but it left me wanting a little more.

Reviewed from notes.
Pours a moderate copper color with a white head and a bit of lacing. The nose is some light citrus and pine hops plus a bit of pale malt. The taste is mild bread without too much hop bitterness. A bit of citrus makes its way through. Pretty decent balance though the hops are not enough. Easy drinking but not terribly flavorful.
