Sample at the Roc City Brewfest (Rochester), served in the taster glass provided. 19FE11.
App.: Clear deep golden with an off-white head.
Aroma: Orange marmalade, a bit vegetal and mashy, some biscuit malt, a little pine, OK.
Palate: Medium body, prickly effervescence.
Flav.: Apricot, bright fruitiness, pine, marmalade, a bit of caramel and brown sugar, a bit more interesting than the nose...; dry with fair bitterness and a fantastic finish of fruity malts.
A so-so aroma leads to a decent flavour and a great finish.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden color with a tinge of orange. Crisp pacific NW hops dominate aroma. Smooth, think body that is appropriate for style. Good hop flavor that is balanced with the crisp finish. Faint fruit/floral flavor on the finish, especially after warming a little. An IPA - not outstanding on any category, but representative of style. Very approachable and drinkable.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Bonita liquor store: Poured a light honey golden color with a frothy formation of head. My nose is able to detect a minor touch of hops and other elements such as caramel, jasmine, and a faint scent of some sort of green plant. The flavor is tamed and only carries a puny but bitter hop presence that could be overlooked and mistaken for a pale ale or English ESB.
