3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle in a shaker. Pours amber with a fluffy, cream-colored head. Aroma of caramel malts and some citrusy/floral hops. Flavor about the same with some not mixing well. Average texture. A decent beer.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
I’ll join the club, draft @ Delaney’s Tap Room. Citrus aroma, medium amber bodied IPA. Citrus in the mix of flavors and the one flavor that stands out.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at Delaneys. Pours copper with a thin off white head. Smells of pepper, citrus, caramelly. Tastes of citrus and spicy with an earthy finish.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at Delaney’s. Serviceable IPA. An understated bitterness, drying. Orange body with some white head.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at Delaney’s in New Haven, CT. Nice amber color. One-dimensional in it’s Cascade-y hoppiness, but that’s what I’m looking for in a quaffable IPA and this fits the bill perfectly.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle pours a translucent copper amber with a thin, creamy white head. Aroma is a little understated, some light maltiness, crackers, lemons and some orange zest. The hops come through better in the flavor, a little piney, some lemons, with a strong malt back bone, caramel, sweet dough, some toasted grains, nice sweet malts. Finish is medium bodied and smooth. Kick a little more into the nose and you’d have something very very nice. Even as is, I think this is underrated.
2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours a three finger cream head that fades slowly, leaving some lace. Cloudy brown/amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Piney hops and paint thinner nose. Flavor starts with sweet malt but quickly goes to hop and finishes with a paint thinner aftertaste. IPAs are not my favorite but this one needs a lot of work. Overpriced at $1.50 for a 12oz bottle from Manchester Wine and Liquors Manchester, CT.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Poured a hazy copper color. Worty aroma with some citrus notes. Malt start to the flavor. Citrus with a mild bitterness on the finish. Light bodied.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Malt and hop aroma. Very hazy orange color with a small off white head. Malty beginning quickly developing a light hop finish.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle shared by fredandboboflo. Pours a hazy dark amber gold. Weak aroma of caramel and pine. Very strong pine flavor with an extremely weak malt backbone. Over-hopped and overdone.
