3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
650ml bottle pours a slightly hazy amber color with a small off-white head which leaves some thin spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma is light caramel malt with some earthy and citrus hops. Taste is bitter earthy hops with a bit of citrus and a caramel malty sweet backbone to balance things out. Medium body and light carbonation. Overall, this is a pretty decent IPA.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark amber body, off white head. Loads of dark hops, but not bad ones. Caramel malt, some citrus. Flavour has woody notes, very bitter. Really resiny hop flavour.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bomber. Coppery amber colored in appearance with a half-inch of foamy white head. Lots of sweet and citrusy caramel malt and herbal hops notes in the aroma that slightly resemble a Barleywine. The taste follows the same formula as the aroma with the addition of some grapefruit and earthy hops bitterness. The body is adequately carbonated with a clean, bitter finish. Nice interplay between the caramel malt and aggressive hops characteristics. Definitely holds its own against other quality Pacific Northwest style IPAs.

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pour was a little surprising and on the brown side. Unfortunately I think this one was infected. Getting a lot of buttery aromas and flavors and it is totally overpowering the hop. Only letting a little malt body come through with a bit of caramel sweetness. Hops are totally gone here. Either old or infected so someone please send me another bottle.
