3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Imperial Pint at Victory. Pours a very light golden with nice carbonation- and a fluffy lasting sticky white head. Aroma is like a very crisp clean subdued APA with a nice citrusy bite, some centennial, and other American hops but not over the top- they let some very crisp almost pilsner like malts to come through. Clean crisp refreshing flavor light pilsner malts, some pale crackeryness to it, fresh biscuits, pizza dough and a nice slight sharp floral and citrus hop kick throughout. Very clean and smooth finish. nice blond ale.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught @ Victory: This one pours a very clear, golden color. There is a frothy white head on it. The aroma is lighter. There are notes of malts and floral hops. The taste is good. Lighter malt body with a touch of floral hops. Very easy to drink. A fine session beer.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled at the brewpub. Gold color with frothy white head. A typical wheaty ale with a splash of pearlike fruit flavor splashed in. Good for what it is, but doesn’t warrant gushing praise.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at Victory: Aroma of floral hops, light grass, slight lemon, and light malts. Poured pale gold in color with a creamy, dense, white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor was lightly sweet. Tastes of pale malts, grass, hops, and a hint of lemon. Light to medium body. Oily, then chalky and dry texture. Average carbonation. Grassy, lemony, dry finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Light and refreshing, easy to drink, fairly low alcohol, almost a session beer. Clear gold, small head. Not close to my favorite of the new crop from Victory. Crisp and dry, citrus and bitter hops, light and balanced. A well made golden.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at Bling Tiger. Aroma spicy hops, some raspberry. Flavor of orange peel, sustained grassy and spicy bitterness against a fruity malt background. Nice and refreshing.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at Blind Tiger. Lightly corny aroma with a clean finish. Some adjuncts with a grainy flavor. Kind of heavy. Not an easy drinker.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at Blind Tiger. Very pale golden ale, thick white head. Aroma is very hoppy with nice light lean pale malts. Clean and approaching a lager in terms of it’s cleanness. Lightly spicy/citrusy but with a lingering herbal character. I can’t believe this isn’t a pilsner, because it could pass for one, and would do well against many of ’em. Light and refreshing.
