3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tasting at the brewery. Very typical IPA nose and flavor...good floral and hop notes on the taste. Solid.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Heavy on the citrus and grapefruit on both nose and palate. Grapefruit on the finish. Hops weren’t as forceful as they are in some of the monster IPAs, which is a bad thing or a good thing, depending on how overwhelmed you like your palate to be. Overall, a darn decent session beer. Bought on tap at Savemore Beverage in Halfmoon, NY
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
I love IPA’S, however, this was a bit weak in the aroma, flavor, palate area.
It has some good qualities, but falls short.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a medium pale gold, nose is weak on hop and mostly grain, taste is a little boring with too much residual sweetness.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle->shaker: Pours a spare frothy off-white head that has some lacing with some mild carbonation onto a yellow/amber body that is clear with no particulates. Lightly hoppy aroma, some citrus taste, and a tart aftertaste with a smooth but astringent finish. A pretty decent IPA, doesn’t justify the price.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Draft. Dark copper pour with an off-white head. Big, fruity hop aroma. Fresh strawberries and citrus, mostly grapefruit. Very hop-forward flavor with a clean grapefruit taste. Bitter finish.
4.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
I was a little worried when Firestone took over SLO but the IPA has remained the same. A golden IPA with a great balance of floral and bitterness. Still one of my favorites.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light amber colour with light frothy head. Aromatic with citrus hops and some hay. Nice hop presence throughout although the malts were thinner. Decent standard brewpub IPA.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Lemony, zesty malt APA aroma. Yellow-gold, big beady head, nice bottle, good label. Medium-heavy hopping, citrusy. Well done American Golden Ale. Citrus gelatin flavors, finishes out with a pleasant bitterness. Fresh, sweetish, enjoyable. Mellow Mushroom, Auburn.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Toronado. Dark orange color, lots of fluffy lacing. Pleasant light citrus hop aroma, a little grass as well -- nice not to be overwhelmed. Taste of the same sweet citrus hops, a decent caramel malt backbone, overall a subdued enjoyable beer.
