4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20Tap at Bobbique. This golden/amber ale was a perfect pairing with sliced bbq brisket last night at the famed Bobbique of Patchogue , NY. My two pints had a sweet aroma coming from them and I would not have guessed it was an IPA from the taste that came next. Yes, it was hop-laden, but the body was different from the aggressive ones, such as with DFH and Stone. It was super easy to drink and I almost can’t wait to try the bottle version in comparison.

One of the great beers of summer.
This is the beer that started my love of the Troeggs brewing company. I have also had it in a growler and it's exceptional.

Pours a deep amber color with a finger-width head that lingers. Hoppy and floral aromas. Very hoppy, biting taste. Delicious.

UPDATED: MAY 28, 2013 Pine and grapefruit bite with a solid mat backbone. Mouth watering bitterness but not overwhelming.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours slightly hazy and amber in color with medium off white head. Aroma is pine and grapefruit. Taste follows suit with grapefruit and citrus hops forward. Malt has a nice body and balances hops nicely. Excellent mouthfeel, but not too syrupy.

3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Ar: Orange pith, pineapple, pine, some toasty caramel.
Ap: Clear orange-amber - large off-white head with good retention, and a thick trail of clingy lacing.
T: Medium-sweet caramel mixes with orange and pine up front - clean yeast profile, with lots of resinous hops - high bitterness, very smooth - some toasted caramel, lemon, and pine on the finish - solid malt backbone, but does not detract from the hops, but, rather, complements them very well.
P: Medium body with high carbonation - finish is medium-dry.
O: Great showcase of hops, with a very solid and delicious malty backbone - a really great IPA.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
bottled 2/8/13. clear amber with a medium, cream colored head. aroma of slight abv, cheese, tea. base, biscuity, crystal malts flavor with tea, leaves. biting bitterness. finish has hints of berries and other high points of its heyday, unfortunately, i think its past its prime or oxidized. i’ll still drink it though..don’t you worry.
