3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
(nitro, Barclays) Off-white head atop clear golden body. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, pine. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, pineapple. Creamy light-medium body with resin, no carbonation. Not sure I have had an IPA on nitro before, and I cannot say this experience makes me feel that I have been missing something.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: NOV 29, 2007 Bottle... O-Town Throwdown Part Tres... Murky golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Earthy, piney, evergreen bark aroma with additional toffee and caramel notes. Perfectly balanced flavor offers rich, caramel sweetness and citric hop bitterness. Medium-bodied and spritzy. Lightly sweet, medium bitter, and then bone-dry finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Strong aroma of citrus hop. Slightly hazy light amber color with a firm beige head. Starts with citrus and floral, moderate carbonation, medium body. It goes a bit watery, and the malt is not overly strong. A very drinkable ale.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks!). Poured a dark amber color with an averaged sized tan head. Aromas and tastes of grapefruit, pine and light caramel. Medium bitter with a lightly sweet balance to it. Enjoyable.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle shared by puzzl. Pale amber beer with a nice clean crisp hoppy aroma. Orange and grapefruit over a fairly clean malt base. The aroma is more impressive than the flavour and the beer doesn’t taste nearly as hoppy as it smells. Light breadiness. Still, quite good, if indistinct.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle sampled on 3/14/07: Pours a clear copper orange with a wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramely toffee malt with an earthy, green, grapefruity hoppiness. Body starts with a nice, rich malty sweetness with a good bittering hoppy balance. A smooth, drinkable brew.
