2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20Bottled. Pours pale to medium gold with fast-receding white head. Sharp aroma of grape and orange peel. Flavor opens with a kick of hop bitterness that lasts through to the end, overpowering the light malt presence. Has something of a medicinal quality. Finish is rough. Thin mouthfeel, light-bodied. This one gets off to an ok start, but it really lacks balance, overall.

Full sail just popped drinking this.. tasty..
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
More malt and earthiness than most IPAs, caramel nut flavor leads to a skunky dirtiness and a hoppy finish. Not a standout IPA.

cloudy dark yellow appearance. pretty good aroma though. bread, hay. leaves a dry taste in my mouth. A better than average beer. Not much of a citrusey flavor.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 6/20
Slight citrus with a hint of spruce aroma. Light mouth feel overpowered by bitterness with only a slight hop cut to it. More of a lager with more hop than your run of the mill mainstream beer.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Put one of these down last trip to Seattle. Not really what I’m looking for in an IPA - no hop punch
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Capone’s. Pours translucent dark straw with splotchy off-white head. Nose is very spicy, with white pepper, earthy florals, pale malt, noble hops. Tastes hoppy, in a noble sense, with a lot of bittering flavor, white peppery spice, pale malt, and a big IBU load.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle. Rating #712. Not a bad IPA, very drinkable with a nice hop bite. Good stuff. (2679)
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tannish colored and clear, some rising bubbles, 1 finger head and pretty good lace.
Aroma is a bit subdued but pleasant. There’s a mixture of hops and bready, caramel malts.
Flavor is more pronounced. Malts are forward, caramel, bread, toast, with a nice balance of citrus and floral hops.
Body is medium with smooth carbonation. Bitterness is clean but plentiful, with a lingering bitter finish.
Overall it’s tasty, if not outstanding.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Appearance has a golden orange color supporting a thin dissipating head and little spotty lace. Smell of citrus with nothing complex involving the hops and malt. Taste of the grapefruit bitter, soft caramel malt with a good dose of hops that survive to the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is a light medium with good carbonation. A faily simple IPA.
