3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sampled at DLD 2013. It poured a yellow/golden pour with a white head. The aroma was of mandarin oranges, tropical fruit notes, some artificial candy notes and a bit of hay. The taste was sweet and hoppy with a little bit of yeastiness in the middle and finishes florally hoppy. Very good.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Tastes like "Drifter" with a bit more bite - If I had my eyes closed and someone slid a glass of Silverspot in front of me I would have guessed it was a Widmir Drifter. Caramely - Citrus -Grapefruity - Quite nice!
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured from a 22 ounce bomber. Noticeable oxidization. Hops are citrusy, pine, resin. The malt character is subtle. would be better fresh.

3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bomber poured a clear gold with a lasting creamy off white head. Aromas of biscuit, earthiness and light citrus. Palate was light bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of biscuit, straw, earthiness and light citrus with a smooth dry lingering earthy finish.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bomber from Bottleworks. Clear, orange-gold pour with a short, persistent white head leaving moderate lace. Nose is quite balanced, with some pine and toasty malt. Medium body with very fine carbonation yielding a creamy mouth feel. Some pine resin and citrus, but mostly biscuit and toast, with some nuts - definitely a British-style malt bill on this one and a British balance, though not as smooth and full-bodied as the best British IPAs. Finish is short and balanced, with some bitterness and more toasty, nutty malt flavors. A very good British-style IPA; unfortunately even the best British IPAs don’t come out on top against the average West Coast IPA in my book. I do love the fact that this is a 6%er!
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from CoOp Bellingham, WA, bottled 101612, 3 months ago
Hazy amber color, bright, with medium sized compact head. Gentle hop and fruit aroma, some zesty lemon.
Good body strength, lean mouthfeel; fresh malt and toffee flavor, with good hopping and bitterness level, also nice fruity character (peachy), and some interesting zesty hop resin in the final.
Luckily not so English as claimed on the label.
Not explosive, just very well balanced and fresh. Excellent.
4.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Really liked this light IPA. Had it on tap at the brewery. It has a nice tangerine theme running through your sips. Not very hoppy but I like it that way. Smooth with a finished taste the the other Pelicans.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear orange-gold with big, foamy white head / Subdued, musty nose of dried citrus, resin, and clothes closet / Medium body, lively carbonation, dry, a touch thin, with otherwise good balance and bitterness / Mellow but elegant flavors of tangerine peel, soap, resin, herb, and straw / Once I got over the notion that this isn’t an American-style pale, I really enjoyed it.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at pelican brewery. Mild crisp, citrus accents. Slight dry finish. Good ipa.
