3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at Gray’s Tied House. Amber with a medium off-white head. Aroma of toasted malt, light citrus and some caramel malt. Taste is pretty non-descript and felt much more like an APA than an IPA as it was lightly hopped and the bitterness was faint. Some floral notes to go with pale malt and light citrus.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewpub, pours hazy with a decent head. No nose, taste is at first toasty, with some earthy hops and a bitter finish. Nothing too special, but good beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at the Tied House. Medium amber orange, thick tan head, good lacing. Orange citrus aroma with some malt syrup sweetness. Flavor similar, citric hops, sweet caramel malt, nothing complex but flavorful and very well harmonized. Medium to full body with a definite hops bite. A beer with a simple profile, that does that simple profile very well.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at the Tied House. Hazy orange-tan color. Solid bitterness, with a touch more depth than other Gray’s beers I sampled. Solid grapefruit citrus flavor on top of a basic sweet malt backbone. A touch more bitterness and dryness than a typical US version.

As the description says, dead on. I really enjoy this one, and hope they make it one of their regular taps at the Tied House.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On draught at the Tied House in Verona, Wisconsin. Pours a clear amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates nearly clean. Aroma of caramel malt, some citrus zest, a touch of pine and dry earth herbs. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of mild caramel malt, a touch of citrus zest and lemon. Finish is semi-dry with a hint of citrus and some light bread malt. This beer is more close to an American Pale Ale than an IPA.
3.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
More of a summer time refresher then a champion IPA. Worked well with spicy BBQ. I was most dissapointed with the aroma it just was bland. If you want to get the most complexaty out of this beer I would let it get closer to room temp.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Copper pour with resiny hoppy, malty, and tropical fruity citric aroma. Medium palate, with some hops an caramel bready malt notes, and a piney, tangeriney finish.
