3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
22 oz. brown bomber bottle. No freshness date seen. Bought cold. Poured out a clear orangish color, with a sticky white head. Aromas are of grapefruit, some apricots also, followed by sweet malts. Flavors are of malts, hops, slight alcohol burn.
Decent body, thick & rich. Good beer overall.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap @ the Brewpub-Clear orange color w/a slight head. Citrus hop aroma. Thought this was pretty bland for an IPA, had some hops to it but nothing to write home about. Maybe some grass & grain thrown in, but it just didn’t do a whole lot for me. Not bad, just blah! Short hop finish.
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.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours a brilliant orange ambre with a huge head. Sweet citrus, grapefruit, mango, butterscotch, and almost a slight caramel aroma. Outstanding. Flavor is along the same lines, with a lot of butterscotch up front, followed by a very nice long hop linger. I like this one!
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Golden-yellow body, with a big off-white head. Smell is not so good, more mealy than it is hoppy. Taste is equally as bad, no crisp punch of hops just doughy malt and a slight amount of hop spice. Really kind of disappointing. No aftertaste at all.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
It poured a golden color with a small white head. The aroma was of sweet popcorn and caramel malts. The taste was buttery, caramel, and toffee, with some lingering bitterness. An ok IPA.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle shared by sliffy at PTFC. Golden pour with some sediment and a white head. Aroma was musty...cobwebs with some grassy hops. The flavor was crisp yet funky at the same time with some light malt. This one might of been a tad infected, but even still, with a thin body just wasn’t too inticing of an IPA.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nice gold color with a good pine based aroma. Good citrus flavors with a nice ending. Not as sweet an end as the Legend Brown.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A sweet malted IPA with an almost skunky near finish to it. It’s a nice little IPA but nothing special. It’s this sweet/sour combo that I can’t quite put my finger on that isn’t unpleasant but isn’t enjoyable either. Rarely do I not form an opinion from a beer, but I’m wondering if this one had an issue which made it funky.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Super CRISP IPA. Hides the alcohol very well and rocks your taste buds. A full-tasting IPA that can still sneak up onto you due to the lack of up-front alcohol. Haven’t had this in over a year, but drank it consistently at UR -- great beer.
