3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is toasty and has some citrus to it. Flavor is victory, biscuity and slightly nutty really a good amount of malt. Citrus hops with medium bitterness and a malty finish maybe even a touch of chocolate. More of a pale ale with the higher maltiness but a pretty good session IPA.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured clear copper color with a medium frothy white head that was mostly lasting with fair lacing. Moderate sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium citrus bitter and a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable beer.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz. bottle from Total Wine. Pours a nice amber color with a small white head. Aroma is light citrus, malts. Taste is sharp with hops, nice finish. Not too bad. An ’average’ IPA that there is nothing all that special about.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Amber-gold coloring with a medium head. Aroma is very earthy with some pale malt detectable. Flavor was dominated by earthy hops with some rough, but passable malt flavors. Not bad at all, I just wasn’t in the mood for an English style IPA while vacationing in the land of Pliny.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours amber with a an off white head. Aroma of citrus and malts is noted. Flavor has a slight hoppishness and some malt notes.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel malts, citrus hops, and some grassy tones. Flavor is pretty balanced with the hops not being overpowering. Has a decent bitter finish with a lingering flavor that is very nice.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a clear golden orange with a frothy white head that dies to a layer with spotty lacing. Smells mild with some grassy hops a some sweet malt. Very earthy hops but very mild, not bitter at all. Nice malty balance. Crisp in the mouth with a very dry finish. Very sessionable, a pleasant and peaceful IPA.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
As with any IPA, IMHO this stuff should fully sail right off the west coast. Slight haze in an otherwise ubiquitous american lager pale yellow color. Has a tea froth scummy layer on the top, not a head, per se. Tasty of course, in a rude way. A regular fanatic in the IPA class. Unpolished impertinent flavors. Way too much bitter medicinal preservative hops for a beer. Bitter lingering finish like I was chewing on grapefruit rinds. Overall, too much for my lager taste buds to endure. Just barely drinkable as a ’beer’. However, if you like IPA, give this a try; I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
