3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask at GBBF 2005. Amber brown colour. Fairly typical US IPA with goodish hops that were slightly more floral than most. Some malt, not bad but needs more depth. Amazing hop finish (according to my notes)

dark amber, whispy beige head, sweet hoppy aroma with a hint of citrus, good carmel malt flavor, well balanced with some hop bitterness that leads to a long bitter finish, nice but lacking distinctive character

Creamy white mostly lasting head. Light amber colour. Powerfull citrus hoppy aroma. (cascade?) Oki flavor, average finish. watery palate, maybe because its old.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask, GBBF. Orange color. Hoppy blackcurrant aroma. Fairly light bodied and rather thin. Hoppy and fruity (blackcurrant). Almost oily. Long hopbiiter aftertaste, maybe a bit sticky.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle acquired in trade with SpringsLicker (thanks!). Poured a deeper and hazy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Lots of small floaters. Aromas of citrus, caramel and flowers. Tastes of toasted malts, a little bready, and citrus. Thinner body.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask conditioned - gravity- GBBF 2004. Another hazy, murky brown coloured beer. The aroma is of hoppy and fruity. The taste is a bit sticky and unbalanced. Only average.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Cask)Orange-amber, clear; no head. Citrussy hops, peppery, nutmeg aromas. Very hoppy taste, USA hops, sharpish at the end. Impression of gingerbread flavour. Light bodied. Long hard bitter aftertaste. Not bad, but a tad too harsh, not clean-tasting enough.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A fairly reasonable APA, but, with an odd rubbery edge to the aroma and a shortage of hoppy bite. This came over to me as pleasant enough, but a bit nondescript. Why are so many US breweries coy about alcohol content? Cask, GBBF 2004.
