3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 kerenmk (1210) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - FEB 19, 2012
Light grapefruit and skunky aroma, light bitterness. Oily texture, light carbonation, light body. This is a pretty good IPA, I drank it several times prior to rating, but I think that something was wrong in the tap. Will be re-rated.

Bottle, thank you DSG! Murky red-brown color with a tight cap. Crystal malts in the aroma with fuzzy, dense hops. Fruity with rip nectarine nectar. Chewy bready malts. Finishes a little thin but is correspondingly refreshing and crisp.

Israeli tick! Bottle, shared by Leighton. Cheers, fella. The pour’s deep amber with a small head. The aroma’s strawberry, hints of caramel, forest fruits. Light notes of old grass cuttings. The taste is somewhat raggedy straw, red berry, slight hop bitterness. Robust malt profile. Somewhat faded flavors. Medium body, soft carbonation. Overall, pretty forgettable.
