2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Light gold with little head. The aroma is hoppy, but not very strong. Not much else to it. Taste is hoppy and then bitter, with a long bitter aftertaste. It’s got a little bit of spice to it, but not much else. The body is a little watery, and leaves a film on your mouth.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20

Mild hops. I had this beer for a while and it was better after aging then when I initially tried it.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Good fruity hop aroma with a standard malt note breaking through. Reddish amber with thin beige head and lacing. Flavor leans towards the malty with off notes of soap/shoe malt. decent hop finish. Moderate to light aluminum quality to finish. Still, the 2nd best thing they had on tap.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
"Independence American Pale Ale", on tap at the brewpub and listed as a seasonal, side-by-side with the darker and maltier Independence Ale. Golden body with an oily, off-white head. Aroma of tea-like malt and moderate popcorn butter. Woodsy hop flavor and decent malt balance with medium bitterness. Diacetyl integrates reasonably well, but still detracts a little. A fair APA.
