2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught@Engine No, 9 brewpub, Tacoma, WA
Clear copper color, small steady white head. Buttery, diacetylic nose. Medium-bodied. Flavor has also butterscotch, then some citrusy hops and dusty notes. Fruity, caramelly aftertaste. Unfortunately unclean IPA.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at TCBF, pours hazy golden. Aroma and flavour of dried fruits, hops and a malty backbone. Nothing special.
0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Nothing too spectacular about this beer. Beer pours an orange copper color with a slight haze. Most of the flavor comes from the hops, which are fairly sharp and one dimensional. Slight crystal sweetness. Overall a mediocre example of the style. Not terrible but not something I would think many would really enjoy.

UPDATED: APR 30, 2011 very below average ipa. nothing really to like about this one, the hops were just sour rather than bitter.
re:rate 2011. much better this time around. much more complex and yet easy to drink.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Not sure if this is the right beer, but I will investigate further. This was a Dry Hopped version for the Brouwer’s WA Beer Fest.
12oz draft Brouwer’s. Golden and a touch of haze with sticky crystallized looking lacing. Nose is slightly dank and doughy. Sharp and clean flavor. Very sharp and smooth, very well made and I would drink multiples of these.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma of floral hops, pine, and grapefruit with a faint biscuity/caramel malt thing too. Pours a light golden tone with a great lasting head and sticky lacing. Lots of hops. Citrus, pine, perfume. Lots of resins linger for a while. There was not really any malt except for a faint sweetness. Thin body, but lots of hops, and I like hops so I can’t complain. Long lingering bitterness on this one. I liked it.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draft at the brewpub. Slightly hazy medium copper with a slim gray rim. Sweaty, almost neutral nose. Watery light body. Nasty acrid resin bitterness leaves a looooong lingering finish of vomit.
