2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Amber pour with an initially enormous head that recedes to a more expected level. Flowery hops with some underlying malt in the aroma. High carbonation. Citrus hop taste. Pretty sour finish. Bitter, sour finish. It’s OK.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
bottle - Pours orange with a moderate head and a mild citrus hops aroma. The flavor is moderately hoppy with some caramel malts. It’s at most medium bodied and tending toward the thin side. Crisp, smooth, and easy to drink, it’s alright, but there are far more flavorful and overall better pale ales out there.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz - bottled on 07/06 - Aroma is mostly malt with a touch of hop spice and hay. Pours transparent gold with a huge fluffy head and great lacing. Flavor is an exact match to aroma. Palate is creamy and smooth. Easy drinking session brew.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very pale, yellow, hazy color. Thick, but light head. Very yeasty smell and flavor with a crisp hop quality. Almost more of an IPA Belgian than a true India Pale Ale.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A large, off-white head forms over this hazy, orange brew.
Light malt in the aroma with some flowery perfumy hops. Slightly sweet with a bit of sourness in the finish.
Dry palate.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A hazy orange pour with a hugh foamy head. An aroma of dirt and light fruit. A slightly bitter tast that I’m not sure all comes from the hops. A creamy easy smoother palate than the head indicates taht it would be. Not great but not bad.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Orange, big white head. Fruity, yeasty aroma, with a slight piney note. Piney and woodsy flavor, not as sweet as the aromas suggests. Mildly sour finish.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Clear orange pour with a creamy, rocky (i.e. root beer float), lacing, tan head. Aroma is strongly, overwhelmingly hoppy, but that’s about it save for the light alcohol. Pleasant citrus taste, mildly hoppy. Thin body, not quite watery, but at least it’s crisp. Unbalanced. Overall, a simple, burgers-and-nachos beer, and the perfect keg party choice for Bloomington’s Greeks. I do like this, though.
