3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A deep honey colored brew with good head and carbonation. Bready aromas. Sticky mouthfeel. Medium body. Bittering backside. Muddled flavors. This doesn’t dance on the tongue like many better IPA’s I have had lately. Decent, but not great.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
22 oz bottle: Pours a nice orange with a light tan head. Aroma of citrus hops, but I had a cold. Taste is a nice balance of light caramel malt and bold citrus hop flavor. Smooth on the tounge with a nice fizz. Pretty good, worth getting every year.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12/27/11. 22oz bottle. Clear orange pour with a substantial khaki head that fades but laces quite a bit. Bold, dank aroma with hops, citrusy lemon peel, and a bit of dustiness. Plenty of bitter flavor, but not a ton of hop character. There’s a bit of lemon peel, a touch of pine, and plenty of sweet caramel. Not horrible.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hazy copper color with minimal head. Aroma is citrus with a little spice and heavy hops as advertised, very pleasant and balanced. Taste is more malty and roasty to offset the bitterness. Palate is typical of an IPA with a full body. Well done IPA
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Sampled on Christmas day 2012. Shared with Kristen. Clear amber pour. Nose smelled a little caramel and ’homebrewy’. Flavor was Very hoppy piney and again that same ’homebrew’ quality. Not quite digging this It, but not horrible.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle shared with my bro on Christmas Eve. #1500!!! Aroma is a mix between hops and firework smoke, not too appealing. Flavor is light with hints of earthy hops and slight citrus. Not too bad but not great either.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Deep amber/ruby with a short lived cream head. Fresh hops, citrus, light bitterness, pine, and light spice. Thin and easy on the palate, huge pine flavor along with sticky hops, and a smooth finish.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Strong, hoppy aroma has fruity and cloves hints. It pours a dark honey-golden amber with a thick, fluffy, snow-white head that leaves a few patches of lacing. Flavor is quite hoppy with woody and malty notes and a hint of spiced fruit, and just a little hop bitterness. Texture is smooth but just a little fizzy, with average body. Overall, just fine for "wrecking" the halls.
