3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20Heavy 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
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
On tap at live oak. Tasted like a weak wheat pale ale more than an ipa. Not what I was expecting.

Draft at the Firestone Restaurant. Golden yellow color. Smells big pine, citrus, grapefruit. Great hopey, bitter taste. Sweet finish, balances very well. Extremely drinkable for such big flavors.

4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Draught, as "Firestone Walker Taproom IPA" at the Paso Robles Taproom. Not the "retired" beer indicated above. Listed at 6.7% and 60 IBU. Very smooth and appealing pine aroma. Light yellow/copper color. Initial has an almost perfect balance / the hops intensify in mid palate and then an exquisite caramel malt sweetness emerges, bringing out some candy notes / finish has good, lengthy hops tracks. Thin body. Really aggressive hopping, and it works so well with this malt. The FW brews are so much better and fresher at the Taproom than in bottles.

Tasted from tap. Beautiful, dark amber color. Bright hop aroma and prominent hop taste & finish.

Solid IPA but not as hoppy as some of the other IPAs that I like. Easy to drink. Tastes of grapefruit.

4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
One of my favorite IPAs. Very citrus aroma and taste. Good flavor and not to much bite. It could be a little more bitter so if your looking for a very hoppy and bitter IPA you won't get it here. It is a good tasting IPA that is easy to drink.

Nice and smooth to drink. Crisp hoppy flavor and gentle aroma. Great color and slight head.
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.
