2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sample on tap at brewpub. Mild hoppy herbal notes, grassy but clean. Mild malt aroma. Golden amber clear with foamy off-white head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Starts malty sweet with caramel and neutral fruit. Grassy herbal hops in the finish with mild sweet after and not very hoppy anywhere else.

tap at Brewpub - don’t know why they think an IPA is a seasonal style, but w/e. Actually a solid IPA, sweet malts balanced by a nice bitterness with overtones and aroma of juicy citrus fruits and great herbal character.

On tap 8/1/2011
Pours a deep copper color with a decent white head that leaves lots of sticky lace down the side of my glass. Smells of bitter citrus and pine mixed with intermittent hints of bread and caramel. Finally something with a decent nose. Taste provides a decent bitter "bite." Citrus and pine vie for attention with grapefruit coming out on top. There’s a smattering of malt in here bread toffee and caramel, but the bitterness keeps them in check. Resinous sticky mouthfeel, medium body and carbonation level. Good IPA, my favorite beer from Market street.

Said it was a seasonal Very respectable for type if just a little this on hops and overall impact. certainly some florals. Nice head and lacing
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A well-balanced IPA. IBU 68 but not overly bitter. Faint C hop aroma. Lots of lace. Mid-mouthfeel. A light yellow colour. An average IPA all-around but that’s all they need and all I expected, and my expectations were met.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A tasty IPA with a citrusy aroma followed by a nicely hopped character. Finish is a little short not leaving much.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught @ Brewpub: This one pours an orangish color. There was a very small off-white head on it. The nose was pretty piney, but not overpoweringly so. Not too much else to it. The taste is pretty much that of piney hops. Lighter to medium malt body behind it. The taste was relatively bitter. A bit harsh and unbalanced.
