3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Growler sampled at Noog Four-0 5/31/08: Pours a transparent bright orange with a spotty lacing white head. Aroma of semi-sweet toasty caramel malt and assertive resiny citrusy hops. Body starts with a finely dissolved carbonation and sweet pale malty notes with a good peppery grapefruity hop balance. Smooth bittersweet finish. A very enjoyable IPA.

Copper pour with off white head and lace. Medium hop aroma with hints of sweet malt. Medium bitter on the front and a solid hard bitter finish. Carbonation and mouthfeel are good as well. Solid all round beer.

Tap. Pours a deep gold with a very slight head. Aroma has sweet and fruity notes in there. Taste is slight sweetness up front, slight bitterness in the back, and a watery finish. I was let down by this one.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle…Thinkin’ ‘Bout Thirteen Hours O’ Drinkin’ (tew man wrecking crew)... Clear, deep golden ale with little to no head. The aroma offers notes of toffee, caramel, grapefruit and cotton candy. Full-bodied and oily with fizzy carbonation. Very lightly acidic. Modest caramel sweetness precedes medium grapefruit pith bitterness. Lengthy, bitter finish. Bottle provided by mgumby10!

Handbottle courtesy of Miver. Pours a fairly clear amber, with a small off white head. Smells of citric hops and a balancing malt presence, as well as some citrus fruit as well. Theflavor was also really well balanced with a perfect amount of hop bitterness, spicy pepper, and grapefruit all mixed in together nicely. The pepper really lingers in the aftertaste giving it a nice sharp bite. Had some good flavor going on here. Enjoyed this.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Handbottle courtesy of Miver. Anber with nice beige head, growing legs, great lacing. Aroma is tad muted, but a nice balance of toasted grain, pine resin and light grapefruit. Flavor is dominated by pine resin and grapefruit. 2 hop sneeze thus far. Nice backbone of toastred grain and light caramel. Medium body, creamy smooth, carbonation lacks a little. Overall a nice session IPA. Thanks Joe!
