2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Dark copper color, absolutely zero head. Aroma was all malt. Not even a whiff of hops. Flavor starts with sweet malts and finishes with an almost sour hop bitterness. Not good at all.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A blonde golden IPA with a thin frothy light mocha head. In aroma, light floral hops with cheesy notes, weird. In mouth, a decent IPA with biscuit malt, funky hops, nice and funky. On tap at TAP NY, April 28, 2012.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pouring at TAPNY. Pours a hazed gold with a medium to large white head. Tropical fruit on the nose, sweet citrus and lemon grass. Citrus, turning into a slow biter finish with toast and grapefruit.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
This was one of the most refreshing IPA’s I’ve ever had. The nose and the flavor both refreshing. It was like a squirt of fresh squeezed grapefruit in my mouth. There was also butter, black pepper and burnt popcorn. The nose a little more on the perfumey side but still that refreshing burst of grapefruit.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Appears cloudy orange. No head, smattering of lace. Grainy malt aroma, then a citrusy (tangerine?) hop. Some honey in the nose. Very grainy malt taste; some sweet honey and citrus taste. Very decent. The malt is definitely the thing here, with a hop accent.
2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Sample at the brewery - Hops on nose, good looking head, wet dog on plate. Total fail for me.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at the brewery. Pours a semi-cloudy golden tinted amber, no head but ok lacing. Nice hoppy aroma of floral, pine, a maybe a hint of caramel. Nice lighter mouthfeel with a little bitter bite and a clean finish.
