2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20Orangey body smells, to borrow a phrase from Bpai Horngnam, like "grain fungus." Palate is watery and soda-poppy. There are far too many impressive IPAs out there to bother drinking this one.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
I think this was a unique light take on an IPA. Kindof wish there were more more like this. Light mouthfeel, easy drinking with a herbal hop kick. Good IPA for summer!

3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours between a gold and copper with a small to medium white head. The aroma is kind of unique. It’s a sharp herb smell that is almost pungent. The taste is quite surprising. It has a faint bitter and medium sweetness. This is not at all what I expect from an IPA, but it’s not unwelcome. The body is light to medium with a thin, sticky texture and a slight bitter finish. It’s somewhat of a unique IPA, but not altogether impressive. It’s not something I would seek out, but I would order one if I found myself in Portland, ME
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured a somewhat cloudy golden yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is tobacco, floral, caramel, metallic, with a hint of citrus. Taste is metallic, honey, floral, with a salty and bittersweet finish. A bit odd.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very pleasant and mild summer beer. Clean mildly floral/spicy aroma that pours a med/dark amber and produces a nice head. More like the milder English ales with a malty taste and only slightly bitter hop taste. Probably be a good go-to cold beer after mowing a couple acres of grass.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle pour turbid yellow with amber hues. Nose of dank hop, slight floral, and some malt. Initial taste all buttering hop, almost no flavoring hop. Strong malt backbone and some bitter finish, slightly metallic.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz screwtop bottle. Pours hazy golden amber with a white head. An OK IPA closer in style to an english version than my preferred west coast american variety. A bit boring with a little more malt and a little less hops than I like but perfectly drinkable.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tasted in August 2011.
Aroma: Hoppy nose with a bit of smoke.
Appearance: Slightly hazy blond with creamy and long lasting head.
Taste: Attack is full hop and bitterness. All cereal with strong bitterness. A real IPA
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap. Amber pour with minimal head. Grapefruit, pine. Bread, pine, and bitterness. easy to drink. Good balance of carbonation , bitterness, and sweetness.

330ml Bottle from Kris Wines 2013/4/16 Best Before: June 2013. Wanted to try a new American Style IPA only for it to be later pointed out this is a Fuggles single hop! My fault. Pretty average anyway even considering the style - especially so at 5.8%
