2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 VerticalBaconStrips (1904) - Assat, Alberta, CANADA - MAY 25, 2013
A break from the poor ass review tour. Bought this today. Better be good at 11$. Bigfoot fight. Fragrant floral, oranges, yeasty bite and mellow pepper here and there, Rrgf, it’s ok. Taste. Meh. Alcohol and annoyance. Peppermint, pepper, yeast, US influence is not enough, tons of hops, spicy, mean citrus, good things that are not balanced even remotely. Pull this back to 8.5% and maybe it works. NOT WORTH THE COIN.

Draught at Devil Craft, Tokyo - RBJG#2. Clear amber - white head. Nice hoppy, fruity hoppy, amber malts, lovely bitterness, super fresh hoppy, resin, citrus, dry bitter finish. Lovely - fresh and complex.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 brenn79 (1224) - Idaho, USA - APR 19, 2013
22 oz. bottle- Pours hazy golden with a one finger white head. Aroma is hoppy, tropical fruits, pine, bitter. The taste is the same, this is definitely hopped up to IPA status, like a Belgo IPA imperialized. Body is medium full and carbonation is high. As it warms some caramel malt presents itself, very disappointing, started out so good.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 shoulderbroken (1172) - Tokyo, JAPAN - APR 2, 2013
Tap at Devil Craft. Golden colour with small white head. Aroma fruity, funky.
Taste is bit Belgian, bit chemical. Pretty regular tripel type brew, and pretty nice but bit of strangeness. Quite spiky. Another speedy rating as I think I ordered too late again. When will I learn?

On tap at the brewery. Pours a golden color with a fine head that sticks to the glass. Well balanced flavors, crisp and refreshing.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 kmweaver (3153) - Petaluma, California, USA - MAR 23, 2013
Phone rating. 22oz bottle, courtesy of a friend. Thanks, Chris! Pours a lightly hazy, peachy-orange color; mixed-bubbled white best with weblike lacing. Lots of esters in the nose, seemingly fermented warm: cotton candy and bubble gum, plus a hint of pepper, on the sweet side. Flavor follows suit, with lots of caramelized banana and cotton candy; unchecked eaters, lots of sweetness. Alcohol and citrusy bitterness helps, but still an eater bomb with plenty o? sugar. Lasting sweetness on the finish, with a bit of welcome pepper.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Crit (3089) - New Westminster, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 26, 2013
Gold, small white head.Nose of carmel & fruit juice.Palate of bubblegum, candy sugar and hops with medium alcohol heat.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Prufrockstar (226) - Seattle, Washington, USA - FEB 22, 2013
Draft. Big hoppy punch in the nose (pine, grapefruit, tropical citrus). Clear gold amber, white head dissipates immediately. Irregular lacing. Taste: Wit meets IPA meets sour. Unexpected. Citrus fruits, weeds, grapefruit, funk, pepper. Long dirty bitter finish. Moderate carbonation and medium body. Overall: Not at all what I expected. The flavors aren’t exactly all over the place, but seem to clash with each other in their effort to all fit through the door at once. Want to try this one again.
