3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Mini-keg at a reception in Knoxville. Poured copper with a nice tan head. Nose is floral and citrus. Plavor is citrusy and malty, with a nice hop bite in the finish. Excellent mouthfeel. A good Pale Ale.

Clear amber, an attractive hue. The aroma has fresh citrus and apricot hops. In the flavor they add a bit of pine and a touch of astringency from the hops. This is hoppier than the Warning IPA, but I think I prefer the Warning. Not bad, this one, though.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear orange color with white head that laced the glass. Citrusy hop nose. Tangy and bitter with a hoppy grapefruit flavor. Very good IPA.

draught. Pours a copper shade with a firm, white head atop. The aroma is typical PA: pine, citrus, a little caramel. Flavor is more the same. It definitely satisfied my craving for a good pale ale. I think it resembles an APA a little more than an IPA. The malts could’ve been slightly more rounded for a more savory experience and there were slight buttery off-flavors, but all in all, it was a refreshing, hoppy, sweet brew.

Copper orange color with a small white head. Floral hop aroma with notes of citrus in the background. Lots of crisp grapefruit bitterness combined with a touch of sweet malts. Good representation of this style.

GABF. Pours gold. Aroma is sweet malt. Flavor is like a weak IPA. Palate coats. Good effort.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught. Transluscent golden color with small, white head. The aroma is spice, hops, and something that reminds me of cream-cheese. Flavor is mostly creamy hops along with raw barley, sour zest, and a touch of saltiness. There is a sharp bite up front and it smooths out toward the finish. I don’t like this as much as everyone else seems to. There are much better PAs and IPAs out there. It’s certainly still drinkable, though.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Single hop (Cascade) IPA. In tallikng to the bartender, most likely also single 2 row malt - good. Simple yet flavorful. Typical Cascade aromas of pine and some grapefruit. Good use of hops for bittering, aroma and hop flavor - nicely balanced. Slightly perfumy finish.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
draft. Union Jack’s. Orange-amber, smallish white head, laced well. bready small tasting malt with a big piney, citrus, hop character. Nothing offensive...a good IPA.
