Tap at Holy Grail Plano TX. Very hazy dark gold with little head. Nice yeasty nose with some mild floral hops. Taste starts off with a Belgian yeast light on the tongue then a mild tangy hoppiness with a nice bitter kick. Good stuff here if you’re in the mood for a more subtle version of an Ipa

On tap at the Lakewood Brewery - Nice orange amber brew that with a medium bubbly head. Has a Belgian yeast aroma and a nice orange hoppy taste. Has a nice bitter finish. Very tasty!

On tap at Flying Saucer Addison. Pours a cloudy copper with a thick frothy off white head leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is floral hop and grapefruit. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet hop and yeast flavor with nice lingering dry finish. A decent IPA from Lakewood.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
I had my first one a few days ago and plan to go to the brewery this Saturday for another tasting. I need to have a few more but I liked the hop smell and bitter taste. A definite grapefruit aroma which is fun to smell and goes with the general taste of an IPA but it did taste a bit green as I recall the tastes of some of my home brews. But I like that, too.

Another solid entry from Lakewood. A good standard, summer, American IPA. It seems to be a solid entry where they can begin to vary a bit (Imperial, etc).
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
I’m just not a fan of these mash-up beer styles. This one struggles from an identity crisis. Is it a Belgian or an IPA? It has the characteristics of both but they blend to make a weird just OK beer.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the brewery’s 1st tour.
Deep amber brew with a nice white head. Nose of spicy Belgian yeast, floral hops, and citrus (especially grapefruit) - bitterness is there but not overpowering. Lots of juicy citrus and earthy hops.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Poured a nice amber with little head. Soft nose and a very soft, very appreciated palate. Not a hopheads Ipa, but one I could easily stomach.
