3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle thanks to Bitbucket
Fiery orange-tan, frothy white head with severe lacing. Nose has orange, caramel, cracker... would prefer it having more noticeable hop. Flavor of cracker, toast, caramel, and tea, light bitterness in the finish. Silky body though thin, quite salty. Pretty standard fare.

Bottle. Clear and copper/amber with a nice creamy head that thins in time. Lots of lace. Slight floral hop aroma. Malt taste is a little less rich and sweet than most IPAs I’ve tried (this neither good nor bad). Hop taste is also more floral and subtle than a lot of West Coast IPA’s. I thought it was a lot like a well-hopped English ESB. Carbonation is gentle, this beer has excellent mouthfeel.

12 oz bottle from New Seasons - Made it to the final four in the 2009 IPA competition. Pours with a nice frothy 1" head. Beautiful copper hue. This is a very smooth, very enjoyable beer. I’m looking forward to my next visit to the brewpub!

Dark gold, with very little head. Thin, with almost no body. The heavy pine aroma denotes IPA, but this beer fails to live up to the modern interpretation.

A noticeable but not strong hop aroma. This is pretty good. Starts off relatively light and the hops grow as it goes.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Scrizzz (thanks!) Slightly hazy orange pour, little carbonation and some sweet hops. Flavor is very bitter/herbal hops and finishes dry and slightly stale. Ok brew, worth a try!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a golden light brown with an off white head and plenty of lace. Aromas are peppery, earthy and slightly funky. Tastes of floral, piney, citrus...not too bitter. Palate is slightly thin, but overall well done.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle trade from scrizz, thanks buddy. Pours a cloudy amber with a thin off white head. The head is lasting and laces okay. Has a nice hoppy aroma with a musty undertone. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is real good. Plenty of pine citrus and just a hoppy blast of light bitterness. Has an oily texture with a great mouthfeel. Has a medium body. The finish is strong with a good aftertaste. This is very tasty.
