3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Massive head upon pouring which never really disappeared. Some hops and a dry finnish. Pretty average and that non disappearing head was very irritating.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap in many places - including on occasion my own house. I’ve had a soft spot for pale ales since I was introduced to craft beer, and this one has been my "Old Faithful" for the past few years. Nice wallop of citrus, plenty of balance, and very drinkable. This makes a great session beer because it’s just a peaceful, pleasant experience from first aroma to finish, and the ABV is just enough to take me gradually to my happy place without kicking me in the face.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma- big malts and floral hops
Appearance- brilliant straw yellow with a tight white head and sexy lacing
Taste- big malts and bitter hops, simple but sensual
Palate- Thicker for a simple IPA, pretty nice
Overall- A great IPA that can be enjoyed year round. This particular bottle wasn’t super fresh but it was strong on the hop and malt front nevertheless.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Kickass hoppy session ale. So drinkable yet has a great hop kick. Seriously, ideal as a session beer. Crisp, clean, refreshing. Looks relatively nornal but tastes great. I have huge appreciation for a beer that’s got a ton of flavor, is easy to drink, and doesn’t get me loaded on 1. My only wish is that it was around my area more.
