2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark gold to light copper body with an off white head. The aroma was decent grapefruit with some almonds and hints of caramel. The taste was grapefruit and bread crust with some bell peppers in the finish. Lots of carbonation and lacing. Ok, just boring.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle (12oz) Incredibly bubbly and cloudy reddish-amber with a huge frothy beige head, nice lace residue. Dry roasty malt, slightly leafy, soft citrus and yeast. Taste - very juicy, moderately roasty, funky-yeasty, increasing lemon zest. Mouthfeel impressions mostly soft, still, dry and acidic. Unusual, but I liked it.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Clear light yellow body with a fizzy off-white head. Sweet nose of citrus, wheat, but some funky thing lingering. Watery. Some hopiness in the flavor but not enough to redeem this beer from being mediocre at best.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
I’m going against the grain with this one. A little much carbonation but otherwise hitting on all cylinders. Sharp malty taste. Hops are citrus in nature. Some pine notes as well.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. A bit overcarbonated, it pours out a hazy golden orange with a 2 inch head that grows quickly. Actually has a decent farmhouse scent to it, no doubt unintended, but it truly does smell like a biere de garde, with a mildly funky, estery wheat, mold and fruit smell, along with the requisite c-note citrus hops. Unintended infection, I imagine, but not a disaster. Flavor is more of the same, a bit of pine and citrus hops, some very mild cheese and wheat yeast flavors, a light, airy, dusty and dry texture, and a light sweetness in the finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
this is a very nice pale. nothig fancy or overly innovative, just a nice, straight ahead pale ale.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
pours a slightly hazy medium amber with no head. Aroma is grainy with hints of apples and grapes and oranges. Flavor is crisp but not dry. very refreshing but a little bland.
