3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz bottle courtesy of OhioDad...Thank you Scott! Poured a light copper color. I loved the smell. Strong aroma of spice, caramel, bread and flowers! Taste was okay. Some spice, malts, hops, maybe a bit of caramel. Certainly drinkable. Perhaps better paired with a good meal, as opposed to alone...
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear amber body with a medium creamy off-white head. Sweet floral hops aroma with a bit of caramel. Sweet floral hops flavor, some caramel and a touch of vanilla.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle courtesy of Northyorksammy: Poured a light orangey color ale with a medium foamy head with limited retention. Aroma of sweet malt and light hops is mostly boring. Taste is a mix between some sweet malt and light English hops. Body is a bout average with some average carbonation. I was quite surprise that this is being classified as an IPA and could not have guess by drinking this beer.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a clear golden orange color with very little ivory bubbles around the edges. Light sweet malts, grass and fruit with earthy notes. Moderately carbonated, light to medium bodied and smooth. Ending is somewhat watery with earthy notes.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured a gold color with faint orange/red hues. The white head left a great lace pattern on the glass. Aroma is soapy and only slightly citrus. The flavor was nice, malty but with a nice earthy touch. Not too bitter or astringent. Slightly watery at the end. I prefer other IPAs but this was drinkable.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, from mug. Crystal clear light-copper body, with a quickly dissipating bubbly white head and poor lacing. Aroma is fruity (peaches), with an earthy note and just a touch of diacetyl. Body is medium-full, with a lightly oily texture and active carbonation. Flavor shows a sweet malt underbelly beneath a tangy zip; the earthiness also shows itself again here, which was nice. Finishes bitter, if somewhat astringent. I’ve had a few Geary’s brews now, and the term "over processed" always comes to mind. I like my beer the way I like my women: a little rough around the edges--a little wild. Still, I enjoyed this well enough, although it’s a bit tame for an American IPA. Better from the bottle.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From 12 oz. Mild grainy aroma with some hops detected. Clear light amber with a thin white head. Tastes of grains, corn, some malt. Palate is pretty average. Doesn’t really hold up to its seasonal or IPA titles.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Not significant head,golden colour, a good floral and spice aroma and spicy aftertaste. The golding and fuggle hops are understated. Appropriate carbonation. Cross style to a winter warmer. mouthfeel on the thin side.I am surprised this was on clearance at Belmont Part Goods in Dayton, maybe it was last year’s, but it was good value.
