3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Golden color with a small white head that laces pretty well, but falls to a thin cap after a few minutes. The smell is a bit floral, but faint. Taste is more hops than malt with floral and piney notes. There is a breadiness to the malt. Medium bodied.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Hazy gold with white head. Funky aroma. Flavour is dull malt with some fruit, floral hops. The bitter finish is a bit rough. Not great.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pour is a light golden color with a 2 finger thick head, lively carbonation. Nose is of light hops, more like a pale ale than an IPA. Taste is similar, light and fruity, not really an IPA at all. Not really a hop heads delight.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled on 10/13/2011.
Slightly dank, mostly piney hop aroma supported by a touch of caramel malt. Snow white head that forms an ocean-foam like (what’s it called, spume?) layer once it settles in. Light coper color. Lacing is inadequate to describe the blanket of foam that adheres to the side of my glass. Hop proteins settle quickly to the bottom. Moderately bitter, but the main flavor component I get is a slight watery/metallic sensation. What I can pull out is some sweet maltiness, and a continuation of the pine in the hops. Overall not much flavor really. Palate is just shy of light bodied without much lingering. Definitely thirst quenching for an IPA.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled, poured in tulip. Clear golden orange tint with minimal lacing and not much of a head. Notes of citrus and hops in the nose but not very strong. Slight fizzy and mildly hoppy and pine for the taste but nothing complex. Finish was a little bitter but nothing bold and long lasting. Decent overall. This IPA is nothing to write home about.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear light amber color pour with medium off-white foamy head. Aroma is on the lighter side, some bready malt and citrus hops. Taste definitely leans toward the sweet side. Bready malt with some caramel sweetness. Finish has some lemon and grassy hop flavor, but overall a rather sweet brew. Not one of the better IPA’s have tried.

1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle - pours golden yellow with minimal head. I got absolutely nothing out of this beer. Not nearly hoppy enough. Just has a really weird taste. Thin and weak. No character.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
The beer in the glass is dark yellow-orange, fine with a flat head. It smells hoppy, fruity and slightly sweet. Overall, very cautious. Starts hoppy-fruity, slightly citrus, lots of herbal flavor, very tart. The middle shows the hoppy-sweet, slightly medicinal and herb-like. Goes into a hoppy-oily finish with hints of herbs and essential oils!
3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a clear copper with a thin white head and has minimal lacing. Aroma is a very nice sweet malt with citrus hops. Taste is a sweet malt also with some mango, but is somewhat watered down.
