4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Bottled, and poured in tulip glass. Hazy golden amber color. Grapefruit aroma with a bit of pine in the nose. Citrus and hoppy at the start getting really bitter with the finish. Overall a lovely IPA.

Nice enough, but not quite right. To begin with, the texture is sort of oily which is just off-putting. Then, it doesn’t help that it’s a weird combination of sickly sweet and unpleasantly bitter. I know, a hop-heavy IPA will always be bitter but there has to be something special to balance it out. I’m being harsh, I do think this has all the elements of a very nice IPA, but the balance of nearly everything here is just not quite right.

Pours amber with a white head. Citrus, grass, pine, malt. A noticeable malt backbone but not overly malty. Nice bitter aftertaste. Well balanced.

UPDATED: JUN 1, 2013 Yeast bomb IPA. Bitter yeast makes for a nose like a medicine cabinet and a taste like ground up B vitamins.

Must have landed a bad bottle of this, purchased on sale at whole foods. It’s only a few months old, but tastes like an overcooked root vegetable. Yuck!

Hazy copper, creamy head leaves good lacing. Aroma has citrus, pine, fruity with balancing bitterness, bit roasted caramel malting under this. Flavor is crispy and refreahing, Semisweet and bitter, medium body, low carbonation, soft feel, tasty long finish gets more malty and bitter towards end. Nice one, tasty, lively and nuanced but also fresh.
