3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the brewery. Nose was big time citrus and grapefruit with some light pine. Pour is copper colored with a fizzy white head. Flavor was nicely bitter with a big grapefruit flavor and some light sweetness. Balanced and hoppy. Pretty good overall.

Bomber from Market Square liquors (for $2.99). Orange pour with thin off-white head that leaves a ring. Aroma is caramel malts and a little citrus. Tastes are sweet cereal grains and faint piney hops. Eh - price was right anyway...
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours clear copper with a tall, sticky, long lasting head.
Faint hop aroma.
The flavor is lightly bitter but overall is washed out and thin. It needs more flavor in both the hops and underlying malt. The dry finish saves this from being a total loss. Drinkable, but left in the dust by thousands of better IPAs.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a translucent copper orange with decent off-white head that sticks slightly on the way down. Aroma is basic hop, pine and citrus with a hint of caramel malts on the back. Taste follow, decent at best, easy to drink and well balanced but I want an American IPA.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a dark amber brown with no head and little visible carbonation. Aroma is all caramel malt, no hops? Taste is malty, hops are present, bitter and piney, there is an oaky finish, alcohol also in the finish. Different for an ipa, glad to have tried it but nothing amazing.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A nicely balanced IPA. Distinct toffee tones, grassiness, grapes, herbal hops in the aroma. Good label, standard US 22 oz bomber, misty colonial maple brew without much rendered head. Nice carbo. Malty, tangy and acidic at times, lightly sweet, staunch hopping, green twig flavors, woody bitterness. Medium heavy body, tangy hop aftertaste. New Leaf Market.

Bomber. Nice murky orange pour with a foamy cream head. Caramel malt, some spice, slightly sour, and a sharp finish.

On tap at Sout Street. Clear brown, big sloppy head. Maple, nutty aroma, plus some pine. A little watery. Nutty, caramel, plus some grassy hops.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Very unique IPA with a very carbonated taste. Good hoppiness and maltfeel but not overly flavorful.
