Bottle to snifter (thanks alexsdad06). Looks alright; a fairly transparent gold with thin white lacing and some small floating sediment. Smells of bitter hops with a slightly sweet backbone. Tastes like it smells with an average mouthfeel. Ok, but forgettable.

Bouteille partagée par slovaksniper. Bière blonde dorée avec une mousse blanche. La robe est translucide. Au nez il y a du chanvre et du céleri sauvage. La bouche est en céleri (celui autour d’un verre de bloody mary). La texture est mince et la finale est sèche. Ordinaire 5/10.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Une bière dorée qui fabrique un petit col de mousse. Un nez principalement dominé par des grains maltés qui se font toucher par des odeurs épicées et des émanations chanvrées. Un goût très semblable. Quelque chose comme de la timidité maltée et des houblons qui ont peur de s’affirmer. Quelque chose comme une IPA de vieille génération. Une proposition que j’aurais bien aimé en 1988. En bouche, une impression platonique. Un corps plutôt faible. Des bulles actives et une texture aqueuse. Une finale sans grande incidence et facilement oubliée. Un bon rince-bouche entre deux bières plus costaudes.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear golden color, frothy white head. Lemon citrus, bread, hay, some interesting floral notes, and jello powder (I kid you not). Light, sweet, and crisp, with a little bitterness in the finish. Light-bodied, very small alcohol presence.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
hoppy, citrus, flowery scent. Citrusy dry fruit and hops taste a little sweet in the finish. Crisp and carbonated on the palate.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Piney, floral, and citrusy hop aromas. Clear orange-gold with a moderately lasting, white head. Dry, bitter, and very balanced. Light-medium body, lively carbonation, and finishes with a long lingering bitterness.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12oz bottle pours a clear dark gold with some clumpy white head. Nose is fairly mild, dried citrus zest, pine, hay. Flavor is stronger, pithy, orange zest, lemon zest, dried pine needles, some malt, something a little medicinal. Full, zesty finish. Not quite all there.

Thanks to MaxwellDeus for my first Virginia beer! Aroma has some basic caramel/bready malts with light floral/spicy hop character. Appearance of copper with sticky white head. Flavor focuses more on the spicy hop character and is quite dried out; the finish is bracingly dry. Palate is medium, creamy and soft. Nice, solid traditional leaning IPA that is well-crafted.

From a bottle purchased in Virginia. Poured a light amber color with a whimpy white head. Nose is floral and citrus hops, but very mild. Not much aroma Medium body. Low carbonation. Flavor is floral hops with slight bitterness. Not a west coast IPA for sure.

Not a bad beer, could use a little more hop aroma and flavor. Have yet to try the Imperial and looking forward to it.
