2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/2022oz bottle. Mildly hazy amber color. Ridiculously large light khaki head. Stronger, soft carbonation impedes drinkability. Some decent lace. Toasty malts are forward here, but some fruity light earthy floral hops are also present. Tastes kind of English-style. Very dry, with a good bitterness. Kind of over-carbonated. Gets better after it’s been sitting for an hour, but that’s kind of a testament to how not great this beer was
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap 4 oz. sampler at the Maumee Bay Brew Pub in Toledo, OH.
Hazy, medium amber with a small off-white head and fair lacing.
Muted aroma of caramel, citrus, and mild floral hops.
Taste of floral hops, caramel and citrus.
Medium/full body and medium carbonation.
A pedestrian IPA that offends by trying to be too inoffensive.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange with some white head. Aroma is lacking, as is flavor. Kinda stale hops and is quite average.

UPDATED: JAN 3, 2013 I rated this on my phone app and could not link it to the web page. I do not have notes on the phone app and will add comments when I crack open another bottle..

Clear gold with sticky lacing. Nose is green and piney. Palate is medium bodiedand crisp with resin, grapefruit rind and pine flovors. Very good.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Orange color with a small beige head. Aroma of pine and citrus hops with a slight amount of caramel malt. Pretty dry and bitter.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draft at the brewery. Pours a cloudy dark orange color with no head. Faint aroma of flowers and melon. First sip instantly dries my mouth out. Very dry beer. No sweetness and high bitterness. Disappointing IPA. It’s not terrible but the dryness is a big issue and there’s a few off-flavors. Floral taste does come through nicely though.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewpub. Murky amber color with a thin off white head. Light grassy hop nose with some raw grains. Some orange peel and tangerine notes with something oddly floral in there. Muddy malts with a long thick hop sense in the finish. Not a great IPA.
