3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle,
this beer has a hazy red-brown pour with a two to three finger creamy head of off-white to light tan colored bubbles, there is some effervescence in the glass but it is hard to see since the ale is not that clear and even when held up to a light I could not see through the glass,
there was some lacing left on the sides of the glass as I drank,
there were aromas of citrus, pine and grapefruit hops with lots of caramel and malt, a good amount of caramel & dark honey sweetness to,
flavors consisted of caramel, piney hops with caramel, light bread and grain malt,
has some good hop bitterness on the palate after the finish and give a good drying on the tongue,
mouth feel is about medium with a bit of carbonation through out,
a nice IPA with generous caramel accents.

A: snifter. Pours a deep rich amber/mahogany color. Nice light tan head, decent retention and moderate lacing.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Picked up a bottle from the brewery. Pours deep amber and slightly cloudy with yeast layer in the bottle. Small semi creamy off white head. Nose is full of citrus, fruits, grass, stong malt, and light caramel. Taste is sweet and fruity up front then fades to bitter and malt. Bitterness remains in the aftertaste. medium light body and dry finish. Has some sweetness and enough bitterness to float my boat. Good beer.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draught @ Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, Syracuse, NY: Pours amber with no head. A malty, caramel, bready, spicy hop aroma that’s complex and inviting. First sip is quite strong with some crazy hops. It’s all balanced with some great brown sugar sweetness. Really enjoyed it.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours deep red with large head that slowly settles to a one finger foamy off-white head. Smells of esters and grassy hops, with hints of grapefruit, caramel-apple and cherry. Taste is more fruity hops. Medium-light body with a sweet finish.

Pours reddish amber with tan head. Aroma is pine, florals and caramel. Taste is sweet with very little bitterness. This is not a normal IPA I am used to.
