Pours a slightly hazy, orange-amber color; light khaki head with fine-bubbled lacing. Lots of earthiness and citrus bitterness in the aroma; slightly lactic tartness; mild infection? It’s on the edge. Medium mouthfeel: good amounts of earthy bitterness and candy sugar malts; more malt-forward than any fully defined hop character; basic, underhopped IPA. Medium finish: bread, some huskiness, and lingering mild citrus bitterness. LaMichael (4999), Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 10, 2008 12oz bottle pours light caramel amber in color with a small head. Nose centers mostly on some lightly sweet/hoppy fruits, but there’s a mild yet distinct nut/caramel/bread note that I don’t really dig. The hop bitterness and flavor never really develops into anything appreciable, instead it’s muddled and simple and ultimately a disappointment.
