3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Brass pour and another nice Fire Island label (referring to the little red wagons that residents of the place use to haul groceries around, since there are very few automobiles on the island). Fresh, sweet hop aroma. A fairly dry and flavorful IPA, nicely balanced and mellow. A good brew, and superior to their Lighthouse Ale.

An amber color hue thus red wagon is. On top sits a fluffy and dense off white head thats abit small. It fades to some nice lacing. Very lightly carb’d. Aroma is a mixed bag of hops and malts. Taste off sweet malts maybe even vienna since I can pick up fainted toasted malts. Hops are light. Medium weight on the palette, dry and a clean finish. This beer is pretty much just average at best.

Pours copper with a thin off white head. Smells of earthy hops, some resiny hints. Tastes of resin, peppery, some honey, some light bitterness on the finish.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours copper with a small off-white head. Sweet caramel aroma with just a hint of hops. Flavor is lots of caramel sweetness with some nondescript hop bitterness (floral/herbal?). Too much sweetness and not enough hops.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Grapefruit hops and caramel malt aroma. Amber with a small beige head. Caramel malt and grapefruit hops flavor, dandelion green bitterness. Medium slightly astringent body.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Looks okay; a little dark and opaque for an IPA, but you never know... Smells decent; good, but a little malty for an IPA. Tastes Like a low-IBU pale ale. It’s good, but it’s no IPA. Palate is good (and why wouldn’t it be?). Overall, a good light pale ale - and a poor IPA.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Toffee malt and grapefruit peel aroma. Amber color with small head. Sweet orange toffee malt and moderately bitter orange peel flavor. Not bad.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
[bottle--thanks Cyrus_B!]
Slightly oxidized, spicy melanoidin-watermelon aroma with notes of sour banana and acidic tropical fruit. Clear bronze under a lasting, almost white cover. Flavour is more like an Old Ale than an IPA: oxidized sour nuts, watermelon, and bitter cardboard. Medium body, moderate carbonation, almost clean finish.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Beer of the month club. Pours hazy copper with minimal head. Nose: candy, very sweet and malty. Mouth: crisp and very bitter. Medium dry finish, high carbonation, light aftertaste. Good beer.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
I would say it is extremely bland but there really isnt anything extreme at all about this. Stale, indistinctive, malt body. Maybe a little crackery but nothing special or enjoyable. Not hoppy at all. No citrus, pine, or other standard hop characteristics. Nice looking buck on the label - would rather have some nice venison than drink more of this.
