3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a slight reddish golden with a light cream head that dissipates quickly but leaves great lacing. Aroma is sweet composed of pine and citrus floral hops. Taste gives a quick malty sweetness followed by big hoppy flavors, mostly citrus and big hop bitterness. This is where the bottle and the tap are very different. I had this on tap the other week and it had way more malt character to it, the beer was almost dark brown with little particles suspended in it. Was really good. This is still good but not what it was on tap, still one of my favorite IPA’s.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught at Capital Ale House. Pours a copper color with two finger head. aroma is very citrusy and nice floral hop aroma. taste: good bitterness at first, little spice, citrus, and then good dry finish
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at Akkurat. It poured a clear golden liquid with a small fluffy white head. It didn’t have much of any smell and I had to bury my nose in the glass to catch anything. It didn’t have much taste besides a fairly high bitterness. Dry and medum smooth mouthfeel. A decent IPA but I expected more from this beer. The flavour came after a while but it was to little to late. It might have been to old though as there was little to no hop aroma.

S: Citrusy and piney with hop bitterness on the finish.
T: Pine and a LOT of hop bitterness. The finish provides even more hoppy character.
M: Light bodied with great carbonation.
D: Very bitter for the style, reminds me of Stone IPA.
