4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
I trusted the ratings on this site, and it was accurate. Great beer. Bubbly and alive on the tongue. Don’t know what they mean by "Unlimitied Release." If we buy it, they will make more? Drank mine with mesquite spiced, pan-fried salmon.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 13/20
Caramel, with pine and pineapple accents. Orange with fine floaties, medium head, nice lacing. Overripe fruit and caramel flavor. Medium body, alcohol evident. It’s ok on an overall beer scale, but mediochre on a craft scale.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
A Mes rate. Bottle by the fire on Black Rock beach in Wales.
Well, I’ll start with saying this. Bloody hell! Beautiful clean amber gold with a really good white head and lots of lace. Great looks. Utterly glorious hops backed up with an equally divine hit of candy sugar and fruity malt. Adorable floral character too. Close to perfect prickly bitterness, really good length. Just bloody stunning all round. Brilliant.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
9 bucks for a six pack. Poured a clear dark golden color with a big head, had to pour some off and I poured it lightly. Aroma was better than I expected, very resiney, pine needles and goodness. Taste followed suit. I was expecting barley wine sweetness but didn’t get it, which was a great surprise. Instead got some excellent hop goodness and a nice lasting bitterness. A diamond is what I thought would be the rough. Awesome.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear dark gold with a medium white head that dissipates quickly, but leaves a lot of lacing on the glass. The aroma is wonderfully citrusy. The initial taste is sweet, with a surprising bitter kick from the hops. Has a lingering bitter aftertaste. There is minimal carbonation and goes down smoothly, with just a little fizziness. Overall, this is a great IPA. Strong, balanced flavors and smooth drinking.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours an orange/copper color with a 1-finger beige head and some suspended debris. Aroma of pine needles, sap, orange and pineapple, and brown sugar. Flavor is candy sugar, soft juniper/pine, sweet alcohol, and a slight bitter finish; apricot aftertaste. Medium carbonation, fairly sweet, and warming. Very nice, a sweeter take on an IPA, but good.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
At first glance, this appears to be an IPA made with slightly darker malts. Dark orange with a rocky white head. Aroma is more complex than the regular IPA. Orange peel, rosemary, pine and cream, plus some spices. Flavor is plenty bitter, and a bit caramely. This is a very rich IPA.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
(bottle) A cloudy orange body with a small, creamy beige head. Big citrus hop aroma (orange and grapefruit) with hints of other fruit (peach), and pine. Medium bodied; creamy - nice. Hops are of course very strong in the flavor, but there is just a bit of underlying sweetness up front before it completely dries out in the finish. Lingering bitter aftertaste. The flavor profile includes grapefruit (but leaning a bit toward lemon) hops, caramel, pine/woody.
