4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Had this one on draught at the brewpub in Hays, Kansas. Clear, amber pour with a thick off white head, balanced flavor especially for an IPA, pear, maple syrup and rosiness, very good but a bit unusual for the style!

On tap at the Parkville Microbrew Festival. Loved this beer as well. Pours amber with an off-white head of solid stature. Superb citrus grapefruit hop aroma and flavor. Fresh hop grassyness throughout. Long tongue-blanching bitterness resides long after the beer has travelled down your gullet.

Approximately 4 oz sample at the brewpub in Hays, Kansas. Pour is orange golden with nice lacing as the beer falls down. Aroma of not too much, some resin some pine, perhaps a touch of toasty malt. Taste picks up a bit from the nose, nice balance between toasted mildly sweet malt and resinous pine earthy bitter hops. Palate is medium, bright carbonation, along with the great dry mineral finish that most of these Liquid Bread beers.

Sampler @ brewpub. Clear copper color with a sticky lacing. Head never fully fades. Aroma is light sweet fruit punch hops. Taste is a mish mash of sticky sweet hops and sweet malts. Some bitterness mixed up in there as well.. Its fine as a standard IPA goes.

Very nice. It was a seasonal but the server told me that it was popular enough to make it part of the regular line up. Featured a nice piney hop aroma to start. Flavor was light, was a mild resiny hop. Malts were light but sweet and bready. Finish only mildly bitter. Faded copper color with nice lacing.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sample at the Parkville Microbrewers Festival. Clear amber with a dirty white head. Biscuit, herbs and plenty of esters in the aroma. Good and malty, with assertive bitterness. Very dry.

This is a really simple IPA that is on the lighter side. The hop nose smelles really fresh and lcean with some citrus and pine notes, light toffee maltiness with a bitter resiny finish that ligners for quite a while. Decent and drinkable.

Gift from Craig. A tasty IPA. Good color of rolling oat and light browns. White head that did not last long....but most likely due to the Growler being a few days old. Aroma of grass and citrus. Flavor that was tight and piney. Good beer from way West Kansas. Thanks Craig!
