2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright orange-amber color with a large orange-white head. The aroma was spicy, fruity and piney though a bit faint. The flavor was dryish, bitter and had a moderate piney and fruity hop presence. A little harsh and not balanced very well. The finish was a bit piney.

12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. I’ve also had this on tap at Nick’s Pub in St. Louis. Pours an orange-gold color with a frothy white head. Hoppy aroma, with citrus, herbal and floral notes, and caramel. Flavor of citrus, hops, caramel, and pine. Sweet, slightly bitter. Light body, easy to drink. Nice, straightforward IPA.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle (low fill line, I note). Nose is hue, sweet caramel with toffee and light earth, has that great doughy/spicy composition that reminds of the best of southern California. Great hops. Clear orange with a rocky beige head. Sweet hoppy taste with just a little grit but surprisingly low bitterness. No significant alcohol perceived, so kudos for that control. Juicy and loaded with hops. Medium body. Very drinkable.

12oz bottle, courtesy of my bro. Thanks, Phil! Pours a bright, clear orange-amber color; thick, off-white head with solid retention and medium-bubbled lacing. Solid dose of sweet floral and orange hops in the aroma; very floral, masking pretty much any malt character underneath; dense, juicy hops. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of juicy, bitter orange and floral hops upfront; sugar and toasted grains underneath, though the hops take center stage; a tasty IPA. Medium finish: lots of breadiness and toasted malts coming through; ends dry.

12oz bottle from The Wine and Cheese Place. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a small off white head. Some citrus notes with cereal grain and lightly roasted malts. ok.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
One of the nicer looking pours of IPAs I have had. Nice orange hue with a golden uneven head that leaves a sticky lacing. A big aroma of grapefruit and pine. It is a very smooth beer to drink and is more creamy than oily. This is definitely a very well hopped beer but offers enough malt to offset much of the tartness. Grapefruit, pine, and floral notes. Bitterness is not significant. Hats off to the O’fallon crew!
