2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
bottle-pours orange with a small soapy white head with some lite carbonation cascading through the glass. nose is terrible-diacytl, alcohol and lite earthy hops. lots of sweet malts. flavors dont show the diacytl as much but the flavors are very mushy malts and lots of sweetness. some nuttyness/earthy notes come through in the finish. very off flavors for an ipa. this brewery needs alot of help i figured that years later, there would be better things coming from this place.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Serving: draft at Fireworks. It pours a light gold color with a small white head. The nose has light honey notes but is otherwise nondescript. The flavor is a bit grainy with honeysuckle, light florals, and some pale malt. Leans to the sweet side. Not what I would consider an IPA. Medium body. Average carbonation. Servicable.

this was only OK, very bitter but no other hops characteristics...just bitter and then done. Nothing else really to the hops. Decently refreshing but nothing special.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Not sure it is an IPA, but it is drinkable. Like their other offerings, a bit watery. A nice little hop buzz, but themalting fails and leaves too much candy on the tongue.
