2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bright orangey-amber colour. Not much aroma - maybe some toast. Sweetish body, with a hint of earth and wood. Not much bitterness. If it had a nice balance or some style I’d be okay with the lightness (see Harmon Pale) but this has little to offer me.

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.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
on tap-pours a thin white head and hazy gold color. Aroma is mild citrus hops, faint malt. Taste is citrus hops-some bitter/pine, faint malt. Mild carbonation.
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.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Has a light hop aroma. Lots of bittering hops in the flavor and finish and that is the main detraction. Really needs some floral or citrus hops to complement it.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Full amber w. orangish tint and a head that rests nicely. Little hop aroma. Medium-bodied, with easy hop flavor of perhaps Cascades and rounded by Northern Brewer. An easy drinking I.P.A.
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.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at Engine House #9 in Tacoma, WA--Poured a murky chestnut amber body (slightly orange) with a thin wimpy whitish head. Big citrus pine nose with some caramel maltiness. Very dull and sharp with booziness. Lacking complexities. Thin body outside of hops. Eh.
