3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Decent English-style IPA, but not overly exciting. And I’m not just saying that because it wasn’t heavily dosed with hops or anything. I liked its bready malts and overall earthiness, but I just didn’t like the way the hops melded. That said, it was easy to drink and it was enjoyable ... perhaps just a bit lacking in the personality department.

12oz bottle from the brewery with the new "English IPA" label; same beer confirmed with the brewery. Nice clear copper color with a small white head and a little lacing. Strange aroma that honestly reminded me of fresh pumpkin? Flavor was fairly balanced with slight bitterness up front and then some sweeter malt in the finish. Okay.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured a very clear deep copper color with a small off-white head that quickly dissipated. Aromas of honey and spices. The flavor was a nice mix of caramel malts and hoppy spices. Medium body with a lasting bitterness.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
pours a rich amber, topped with firm white head. The nose is thick sweet oranges, like marmelade, a hefty dose of spice. Lots of caramel malt sweetness, balancing out the hop bite in the background. Actually quite drinkable.
