3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 CaptainCougar (7093) - Columbia, Maryland, USA - OCT 1, 2011
500ml bottle: Pours a clear orange amber with a stringy-lacing white head. Has a lightly sweet toasty malty nose with a fresh resiny hop character. Starts with decent fullness and light malty sweetness along with a perfumy bittering hop balance before a drier bittersweet finish. A decent IPA.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Ibrew2or3 (5757) - Tempe, Arizona, USA - SEP 2, 2011
Half liter bottle pours clear copper with tan head. The aroma is both floral and spicy with hops and a bit grainy with malts and orange flavored hard candy as well. The taste has a nice load of spicy hops ringed with ribbons of floral and citrus like hops. Well off in the background are notes of sweet maltiness. This brew achieves a nice balance of bitter and floral hops. If you enjoy floral hop nuanced IPA then this one is for you.

Bottle. Light amber, off white head. Nice citrus but mellow, hops, bit of bread/yeast. Somewhat bitter, great carbonation, medium bodied, slight sweetness with a bitter twang on the end. I thought this was a very well balanced beers and overall a very nice laid back IPA - worth seeking out.

Bottle purchased at BevMo in Natomas, CA. The aroma is a little spicy and herbal. Sweet, sugary malty aromatics are also present. I also get some onion in this. Mildly hazy orange body with a pretty strong off-yellow head. Starts spicy and herbal. Moderately bitter. A little toasted maltiness in the middle, before there is an herbal hoppiness late. Not bad. Just sort of okay.
