3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft pint at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber-gold color with a small white head. Aroma of caramel malts, floral hops, straw, and nectar. Flavor is basically the same, malt-forward, with a relatively earthy hop profile. Light-bodied, with medium carbonation and a malty, earthy mouthfeel. Decent IPA, and after trying everyhing Fullsteam had on tap, I am sticking to my theme that the brewery could beef up the body on all of its beers.

Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized offwhite head. Good head retention. Aroma of big floral, herbal and minty hops with a buttery note. The taste is citrus hops with caramel malts. Medium bodied.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear orange with a thick white head. Aroma of Belgianish yeast (oddly), crackery malt, and hop oils. Flavor of the same crackery malt with hop resins and bitter hops. Not your traditional citrusy ipa, much more resinous, but pretty tasty. It was a little odd at first, I wasn’t sure this was the right beer because it is not your typical ipa (I doubled checked though).

Clear gold pour with a fluffy white head. Aroma is slightly grainy with some tropical fruit. Pine, caramel and grapefruit. Nice but I wish it was a little more aggressive in the hop dept

Extremely clean IPA. Clear dark amber with a smallish white head. Great full creamy mouthfeel. No west coast citrus here. More earthy flavors with a solid caramel malt base. Lightly bitter and soft pillowy mouthfeel. Would pair well with most bar food. A flavorful and easy drinking IPA.

Color is a clear light copper with a single finger white head and some spotty lacing. The nose brings some faint hops and sole floral character, a bit spicy. Light breach malt. Flavor has mostly floral elements with a bit of citrus. Light body and a good bitter finish. Nice brew.
