3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/2012 oz. Bottle.
A nice copper brown color, with a hoppy taste that does not bite.
Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
From bottle. Pours hazy orange with lacing. Aroma was malty and grassy. Taste follows with straw and earth. A little musty.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Single bottle. Pours orange with small head. Some hops in the nose; taste is straw and skunk. Fairly light body; decent kick. Mediocre at best.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft. Light orange with white head. Aroma of hops and citrus, subdued. Taste is primarily burnt hops. Poor attempt at IPA.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12oz bottle - pours amber/orange with a finger of off white head and modest lacing. Nose is floral and straw. Flavor adds caramel. Light bitterness. Watery. Weak for the style but the high ABV might change my mind.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft Barn, Brooklyn tap ($6): Purchased this as Lionshead IPA, but this appears to be the same beer according to my research, but if not, please correct me. Pours orange with a white head. Aroma is bland and normal IPA. Taste is attenuated IPA. There ain’t nothing in here that you wouldn’t or shouldn’t expect.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Overall, not bad nor great. 16oz/473ml can purchased 9/3/12 City Market, Burlington, VT, $4.99/4pk. First time I've seen anything from this label (Stegmaier) or brewery (Lion) from Wilkes-Barre, PA. Light hop smell and clear, light amber color which is lighter than most current IPAs. Cream-white head, substantial lacing. Fairly hop-forward, more citrusy than floral and on the bitter side. Some alcohol warmth, 6.7%ABV listed. Would buy again but would not seek it out either.

Pint can. Would file this under "not terrible." Pours amber/gold with a big fluffy white head. Citrus aromas that seem to be a bit off. Taste is fairly hop forward but without much character, just a lot of bitterness. It’s dry though, which is how I prefer my IPAs. You do get an aftertaste that tastes a little wet dog/skunky. For the price I’d definitely buy this over many other lower end beers.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle 355 ml
Aroma: malty , woody front , hint of alcohol warmth. 6-
Appearance: clean amber with medium white top. Some lace shown.
Palate / Taste: Golden malt with caramel side. Slight mineral feel that followed. Empty finish. Poor man’s amber perhaps?
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours copper with a white head. Aroma is bread, caramel and citrus. Taste is sweet with medium bitterness. Light to medium bodied with some stickiness on the finish.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
smooth body with full flavors of caramel malt and different types of hops which makes it somewhat different for an ipa especially in this day and age.
