3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: NOV 3, 2012 Bottle from Total Wine, Henderson, NV; 6.9% ABV
Cloudy golden color; small creamy head. The hop aroma is a bit sweaty and resiny. The mouthfeel is smooth, dry; some toffee flavor; strong bitterness. Not impressive.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft. Pours gold with a white head. Fruity hops, pale malts and a floral hoppy finish. Very bright and juicy. Good stuff.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This IPA made me sit up and take notice. Really big bouquet on this. Loads of citrus here. Bitterness hits you but doesn’t take over. Just a strong West Coast hop bomb.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. Pine and grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and pine flavor with backing caramel. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and pine linger.

Nice ipa. A bit of pine and citrus. A nice light crispness and very drinkable.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
March 4, 2011 - with blankboy, garthicus, gregclow, jerc and mabel: my 22oz bottle. Slightly hazy amber with a nice large frothy off-white head. Somewhat dry and leafy aroma, some citrus and resin, no alcohol or sweetness on the nose to speak of. Tastes of citrus zest, leafy dry bitterness, some sweetness and alcohol - pleasant, if unmemorable. Average body, lightly astringent, good carbonation, a fairly long leafy back-palate bitter dry finish.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Very fruity and citrusy aroma but not a lot of head. A nice hop bite and a very good finish. Pretty darn tasty, just the right amount of sweetness at the end. Yum. Surprisingly enjoyed this the most of the three IPAs.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
5/29/12 notes: Draft. Dark Orange color, Citrusy nose, chewy but clean body. Lasting pithy finish, good aggressive balance.
