3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUN 22, 2010 Bottle thanks to COBeerStuff!
Transparent orange-copper, thin white ring for a head with tiny bubbles. Piney bitterness with some oat in the nose, also some tea. Flavor has some caramel and burnt toast at the front, grapefruit and lemon at the back with some lingering sugar and soapy bitterness. Pretty straightforward IPA. That’s all the effort I can muster.

Debatable about this one being APA or IPA in flavor profile and ABV/IBUs. Somewhat light-bodied for the style. Some bitterness is there, but bready malts as well. Solid, but not great.

On tap at Free State. Aroma of pine and citrus. Pours a clear amber with an off white head. Tastes hoppy with pine and citrus. Very good.

Bottle from RobertDale - thanks. Pours a clear copper with a fluffy beige head. Aroma is mild with bready malts and modest floral hops. A little citrus and caramel come through in the taste with more floral hops. Medium intensity. Nice.

Bottle - average size foamy head, medium copper color, nice piney hop aroma and flavor, fair malt backbone - not the strongest IPA in terms of hops, but not bad, pretty well balanced

12oz bottle poured into lager glass
Aroma: bread,coffee, earthy
Appearance: copper orangish red. clear and less than 1 finger head that faded quickly
Taste: medium bitter, lightly sweet
Palate: bitter finish. medium body, thin texture. lively carbonation
Overall: Though this was an APA but turned out to be an IPA. way too much bitter for me. decent amount of flavor but most came from the bitterness.

Not to bad. Medium hop decent body, not compex on the flavor, could use some spicing up.

12 oz bottle. Pours golden with a small white froth. Aroma is sweet and Carmel with a noticeable piney and earthy hoppiness. Flavor starts sweet but quickly picks up the herbal piney hop character before a lightly bitter finish. Medium body and a crisp carbonation.
