Smartmouth Rule G IPA @CBC-offwhite-hazy gold. Aroma-pine. Taste-pine hops, lt malt. 3.7

Sampled at my local beer store. Pours amber/orange with a white head. The pine, citrus and grassy notes are very apparent. The finish is not as hoppy as I would have liked, but overall a very solid IPA.

Draft. Pours copper with a medium, white head. Great hop aromas of citrus, pine, tropical fruits and light florals. Hoppy flavors of citrus, tropical fruits and pine with a perfect balance of sweet maltiness. Finishes a little too quickly but still great citrus/pine/tropical fruit hop flavors. A tasty IPA.

Draft at Smartmouth. Aroma is strong citrusy hops, pine, grapefruit juice and floral notes. Taste is big floral hops, tropical fruit, pine notes and grapefruit juice. Body is medium-full with moderate carbonation and a lingering hop bitterness. Ends with more pine, grapefruit juice, citrus oils and floral hops. Tasty!

From the tap poured a copper color with a good amount of head. Light hoppy flavor with a quick finish.

On tap at Y-Not in Chesapeake, VA. Dark orange pour with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of pine needles and wet grass. Moderate bitterness from the hops with flavors of pine, roses, and light tangerine. Well balanced. A good IPA.

Draft at the brewery’s tasting room. Bright and full of amber-orange color and well topped with a creamy head. This drinks with all the characteristics you’d expect of a dry-hopped IPA, rolling with some good citric flavors, finishing clean and dry. Well done. (#4817, 11/10/2012)

Served on draft at the brewpub. Pours a hazy amber color with a large frothy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of dry caramel malts, floral and mild resin hops. The taste is caramel malts, bitter resin, citrus and candied citrus hops. Medium bodied. Nice.
