3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 crazyvin (1692) - New York, USA - NOV 9, 2012A clear golden body with a nice white head that had decent retention and lacing. Aroma had a nice citrus hop profile with nice bread malts. There was a slight hint of pine hops to it. Flavor was nice and bitter, not dominating like an IPA, but still assertive. Hops were mainly citrus but there was just enough pine to balance it out. Bread malts were decent. A nice easy to drink beer, terrific session ale.

Une robe dorée et une tête solide. J’observe une belle dentelle. Des arômes de pamplemousse rose et de lime. Des malts mielleux et de délicates fleurs des champs. Quel superbe travail houblonné! Mon nez en redemande. Au goût, les saveurs houblonnées et maltées se fusionnent habilement. Ceci dit, les grains maltés se font rapidement oublier tant les houblons sont fabuleux. Je me fais mordre par des fleurs et du poivre rose. Je savoure le citron vert et le pomelo. J’aime l’effet de la camomille sauvage sur mes papilles. En bouche, le corps est bien élancé. Tout est pensé ici pour une grande buvabilité. Le pétillement vif diffuse les saveurs et son habileté se répercute sur la fraîcheur. La texture qui est légèrement huileuse s’accepte comme une brise d’été. En finale, que d’éclatantes notes houblonnées, bien vivantes et complètement stimulantes. Quelle agréable surprise! Une bière si facile à boire et si savoureuse. Un fantastique exemple du style.

Bottle from a mix pack. Poured into the free Victory pint glass that came with it. A light golden brew, slightly hazy. Light head that fades to a thick lace. Bready-citrus aromas and flavor. Body on the lighter side but finish is typically sticky like most Pale Ales.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 mmmbeer (1154) - Austin, Texas, USA - MAY 3, 2013
12 oz. bottle served in shaker- poured an evenly turbid brazen copper color, extremely thin white ring around the glass for a head, next to zero carbonation, no lacing, sits very still upon the vessel. Aroma of pine and citrus hops by the gravity barrel load. Hits the mouth with a wide medium body, malt was just slightly caramelized, hops come crashing in the middle, finish is harshly acidic yet very enjoyable. Toes the line of IPA, but whatever you want to call it, it’s damn good!
