3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Spinnaker’s, Victoria. Pale gold, thick creamy head. Creamy English golden ale aroma, with hop which is hay and dry grass. Creamy in mouth. Not a PNW IPA. Smooth creamy golden ale with tangy slightly citrusy lemony/hay hop finish. Pleasant.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Golden yellow, film of a head. Lots of butter/butterscotch in the aroma, mostly diacetyl. Flavour is a touch buttyery as well, pleasant bitterness flirts with astringency in the finish. Mild malt. Average palate. I expect a draft sample might be better. Brewnosers Meeting.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
BBD 10/05. Robe blonde très claire aux reflets cuivrés. Arômes de malt et de caramel. Saveurs de malt et de céréales. Houblon de soutien. Peut-être un peu trop vieille.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draft, Straw colored beer with a little white head. Light malt and grassy flavor and aroma. Lingering mineral flavors. Lighter bodied. Some citrus flavors.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Golden orange, small head, little lace. Decent citrusy hop aroma with fruity malt flavor. Finish is mildly bitter for an IPA, and the body is a bit thin. A refreshing beer though, not bad, but not exceptional.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at the brewery
Orange color, deep and rich rusty orange. Very light texture overall, very fresh, though. Semi-bitter taste with a dry finish. Not a hop monster by any means, and it almost resembles an English Pale Ale: some nutty, caramely chewy malt flavors. Good stuff.
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
It’s peach n cot season and what better accompaniment than this fruity IPA. Pours orange with lovely long-lasting head. Hops don’t overpower but are still quite well-done. Some yeastiness is there too.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear amber appearance. Dryish malt, slightly biscuity, slightly caramelly aroma. Dryish palate, touches of biscuit and caramel, fairly dry and bitter but not aggressive in the finish.
