1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bland smell. Murky and fizzy appearance (like a wheat beer). Slightly bitter taste, not a lot of depth. Drinkable.
My craft beer friends all hate it, and my non-craft beer friends all hate it, not sure why it is still being made. Maybe for wannabe beer snobs?
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Tap - "Darens Dream IPA" - Tap - no head at all, dark straw color, very bitter hop flavor and aroma, pretty flat not much carbonation - not the best IPA
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
On tap at the brewery. Really not much to it--not an IPA worth drinking particularly. It was certainly drinkable, but I didn’t stick around for another beer.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured into a pint glass.
A: Pale orange/dark yellow. Aggressive pour gave little head, but what was there laced really thick.
S: Mild aroma of floral and grassy hops. Some spice and citrus.
T: Pleasantly bitter, the way I like my IPAs. Spicier than the smell would suggest. Biscuit malts and grapefruit. Bold, like all beer should be, but not off putting.
M: Not creamy, but smooth with a good amount of carbonation.
D: Tasty and bold (great for not getting bored). Cheap also, so you won’t feel guilty about putting back a few.
Cheap and delicious.

2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottled. Pours copper with almost no head. Smells of hops and grass. It has a taste of soap and burnt malt. It is moderately sweet with a large bitter afterbite. It is strongly astringent and long lasting. Not a very pleasant beer.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a golden body with a white head. Nice hop notes of grass, earth pine, and some light citrus tones. Pine y body with a mild bitterness. Thin and quaff able. Nice ale.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
For an IPA, this one was a disappointment. It had a bit of a skunky aroma/flavor which makes me think the bottle may have been a bit old. Still, not very bitter, not very citrusy, not very impressive.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of citrus, some spice. Tastes of wildflowers, citrus, grassy, hay, some bitterness on the finish.
