3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle -
The beer pours out a golden brown body, clear with a 1/2" scant head. Aroma is mostly herbal hops, and carries strong notes of herbal tea. Flavor shows up a lemony, citrusy hop flavor, dry with a woody, green leaf finish. Body is on the thin side. Not a bad beer, but very English and more of a pale ale than an IPA.

Tap at Ellas in Sacramento, CA. Pours copper with a foamy off-white head. Aromas of mild malt and citrusy hop. Med body; flat carb. Flavors of mild roast caramel with quite an amount of citrus/herb bitter. Mildly astringent. I like to think it reminded me a bit of England.

3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pint served at the Brewpub. Clear golden amber with medium white head. Sublte hint of citrus in the nose, not too hoppy, good English Style IPA. Dry finish
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at the brewpub. Gold with a lasting white head. Spicy and herbal hops in the aroma, rather forcefully, with just a hint of malt. The flavor is quite hoppy in a very English way, with some light malt coming through before a dry, hoppy, and pretty bitter finish. The malt is light for an IPA, but this thing screamed hops. I was digging it. Just don’t expect a big American IPA malt balance to those hops.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz bottle poured into a mug. Slightly hazed light amber with a small dense cap of light beige foam. Aroma is crystal malty with a sweet citric tinge. Flavor is very lemony with some resinous herbal character as well. Not much malt backing, which wouldn’t be an issue except it makes for a thin, weak body. Very highly carbonated. Decent bitterness with a little astringency, but overall this tastes like bitter hoppy seltzer.
