3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hoppy aroma has a sour citrus note that has both grapefruit and orange elements plus a woody underpinning. It pours a pretty clear amber with a thick, fine-bubbled white head that leaves some generous lacing. Flavor is hoppy and woody, a little bitter, with more than a hint of fruity sweetness and some citrus. Smooth texture has about average fizz and body. Overall, not terrific, but worthy of a try.

Hay and orange peel nose. Cloudy amber, fine foaties, medium yellow head. Whole orange flavor. Rosehip finish, solidly bitter. Good.

12 oz. bottle from my porch. Literally, I have beer sitting out on my porch to take advantage of the cold weather, and to cut down on costs. Anyways, this has a hazy, golden-coppery color. It had relatively little head to start with, and now it’s just a bald beer, that is - without head. Aroma is of sweet malt, and a touch of honey. What I really like is the citrus aroma that seems to be coming out more and more, as I take more and more whiffs of this. The citrus aroma (mainly oranges) seems to be more pronounced, as it warms. Great texture, along with a relatively great taste. The citrus tastes very nice. The citrus hop bitterness is long lasting, and satisfying. This has a great malt backbone, and really hits the spot. This is a fairly nice brew from a company that I feel has much more potential.

Bottle. Aroma has notes of citrus, flowers and caramel. Medium clear amber hue with a small off-white head that mostly diminished and left good lace. Flavor is medium sweet and heavy bitter. Palate is full bodied and oily soft. Overall a nice big IPA. Aroma is not spicy and it has a nice mouth feel.

From the bottle, pours a hazy yellow orange with a thick white foamy head. Lots of floral hops in the nose and tastes the same. Lots of floral hops and citrus, bitter but balanced. A very good ipa.

Cask at the PW. Clear, orange gold pour with a short white head leaving heavy lacing. Good head retention. Nose is fairly balanced for an IPA, with citrus and flowery hops and some sweet malt. Medium body and light carbonation. Caramel, pine and citrus hops, honey. Balance quite different from your typical West Coast IPA, most likely due to this being on cask (CO2 augments hop aromas) and a bit too sweet and sticky for me. I’ve had Fish’s cask PAs and IPAs before at the brewery and they were much better than this.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Light to moderate roasted smell for the malt, moderate pine for the hops, light soap for the yeast with a faint hint of pepper. Head is average size, white, between frothy and creamy, with a good yet thin layer of lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear amber. Flavor starts faintly sweet and lightly to moderately acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and moderately to heavily bitter. Palate is on the lighter side of medium, watery with a soft carbonation. Very nice IPA aromas and flavors, and probably the best organic beer I’ve had in awhile.
