12 oz can. Piney hoppy nose. Pours golden blonde with a solid white head. Very balanced, citrus hops with bread-like malts with a piney finish. Not bad.

Westmeister (463) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - JUL 17, 2011
Draft. Copper colored with little head and not much in the lacing department. Smell is of sweet malts and light citrus hops. More pale ale than ipa. Taste is similar with a high sessionability. Not bad, but more malty of an ipa than I typically seek out.

Typical american ipa. Good amounts of citrucy hops, light bready malts. Good carbonation, pretty straigh forward, solid, but nothing mind blowing.

12oz bottle. I had this once before a long time ago and don’t remember liking it very much at all - figured I’d give it another shot. Pale copper pour with some white head. Aromas of floral and earthy hops - decent malt flavor but lacking the hop bite I like in IPAs. Seems to be more of a British style IPA.

Terminus (2535) - Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA - JUL 9, 2011
bottle-no pour with a small white head nose of carmel malt and earthy hops flavors show this earthy notes along with a very cookie like malt structure-somewhat grainy as well. really more a brittish ipa than anything. some oxidization hinders what is here. long earthy finish with lingering malt husks. nothing special for sure!

Fairly bitter easy drinking super carbonated mainstream ipa. No flaws or surprises. You will not remember this beer

Finhead (653) - OFallon, Illinois, USA - JUL 5, 2011
A clear, golden pour with a fluffy, white head. The hoppy aroma is filled with floral and citrus notes. The medium body has lively carbonation. Initially, it has a bittersweet taste, then it finishes bitter.

Poured a slightly hazy golden with a smallish head. Nice balance between the malt and hops. Solid beer.
