2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: AUG 13, 2005 From a growler.
Pours a slightly hazy gold with a limited head. Aroma is floral, with notes of citrus. The carbonation seems limited, as does the hop bitterness. This is a sweeter - nay, too sweet - IPA. Decent drinking, but nothing exceptional.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Yellow-orange and slightly hazy. Sweet bread-dough malts. Very citrusy hops; juicy orange, flowery and grassy. Somewhat stark bitterness (like acidic flower petals). Started off nice, but it became sharp-edged, with a hard water feel to it. Rather unbalanced and a little too in-your-face (and not in a good way).
