3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle. Poured a clear pumpkin orange color. Head was off white, tall, and reduced over a few minutes to a sticky film. Some nice lace remained at the end. Attractive aroma of grapefruit, crushed pine needles, caramel, and a hint of pineapple. Moderate hop bitterness throughout which peaked at the beginning at about 6 out of 10. The malt and hops were well balanced without one standing out over the other. I tasted mostly sprucy hops and caramel. Solid IPA.

bottle... light golden copper with a light toppe head, mostly leaves a ring... not a big fan of the nose, backbone of wet dog, grass hops, a bit of toffee and lemon, meh... the taste is better but again boring, not a ton of flavor, very easy to drink though, a bit of mildew, toffee and grass... very average ipa

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice hazy orange tinted amber coloured body with a dense tan head - this is exactly how an IPA should look! Aroma of strong hops, grapefruit, yeast, alcohol and the slightest hint of nuts. Medium-bodied; Mild hoppy flavour up front with a good malt backbone then showing some brighter hops near the end. Aftertaste shows a light bitterness, some apricots and a touch of yeast. Overall, a very drinkable and somewhat bittering IPA - not too much hops, but definitely enough to make this a pretty solid IPA. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Goebel Liquor in Wichita, Kansas on 24-April-2008.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy amber orange with some floaties. Decent fluffy white head. Aroma had slight tea, sweet malts & medium hop presence. Taste was muted hops with sweet malts. Hop bitterness was faint in thebackground but I believe the bottle may have been past its prime. Very drinkable & rather tasty
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
12oz bottle. Copper color, white head. Aroma of cirtus. A bit oxydized malt smell. Don’t really know how old the bottle is. Nice caramel malt, toasted malt, biscuit, followed by an earth bitterness. Very simple. Calms the craving for hops.
