1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 Trappist (279) - Knoxville, USA - MAR 17, 2009
Not impressive at all. To plain, to boring and it was just an average ale. I have had other beers from magic hat that mad much more of a palatable impact.

Bottle. Similar to other Magic Hat brews, with heavier hoppy aroma and flavors. Complex hoppy/floral/fruity flavors. Moderately bitter finish. Quite drinkable. It didn’t give me a headache. Yay!

Hay, whole orange, and grapefruit peel, with lilly accents. A little stale, but quite nice. Cloudy amber, thin head, fine floaties, some lacing. Slightly vegetal floral flavor, lillies with the green stems. Rosehips also present. Fizzy. Dry and bitter, but not necessarily resinous. Decent.

Got this out of the mix pack. Nice golden pour with a thick white head. Aroma of hops, malts, citrus. Kind of sweeter smell. Taste has a decent amount of hops, citrus, and a little bit of some sweetness that is followed up with some bitterness. A decent IPA out of this mix pack.

My first and only IPA. I can honestly say it was way too bitter for me to enjoy. I will be trying more in the future and my opinion may change.
