04.08.2012. On tap at Vinos Brewpub, Little Rock, AR. Rather dark amber golden colour with white head. Aroma dominated by tastefull and very fresh and crisp hops. Lots of flavours of both hops and malt. Refreshing and very nice IPA with lots of hops. Just as I like it.

3.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Vino’s. Dark copper color, excellent lacing, no aroma, really. Head fades to an irregular frisbee. Not my favorite IPA, but a passable attempt. It’s one-trick pony, not very complex. The taste profile that is there, however, is pretty good! It goes just fine with the pizza!
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewpub in Little Rock. Pours a cloudy, golden-orange colored body with a finger-width, frothy and creamy, light beige head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is lighter with florals, lemongrass, a touch of pine, and a medium sweet caramel malt backing. Flavor is caramel with a light sweetness and a good amount of florals up front. Nice lemongrass in the middle with a touch of bread before a light pine comes in with a few resins as this dries pretty well with a moderate bitterness and light sweetness. Lengthy aftertaste following a medium body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a decent IPA. The aroma was a bit light, but the flavor was better. Lightly sweetened, soft caramel maltiness with a good amount of florals and lemongrass hops. Not bad.

Orange pour with creamy off white head and lace. Aroma is resiny hops and caramel malt. Sweet caramel, bread, and a nice escilating bitter. Smooth carbonation on a medium bodied beer. Pretty nice.

Overall Impression:
In my attempt to become the number 1 rater of Little Rock beers I have just ticked my 2nd brewery! So I’m sort of kidding here, but I have tried what maybe Little Rock’s only 2 breweries now, so that’s fun. As for this beer, it was actually a very solid IPA, I was a little surprised, I wasn’t expecting it to be this good.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at the brewpub. Orange color with a large airy head that stuck around for quite a while. Tangy citrus all the way with this one. Light in body, but a pleasantly refreshing drink. Did I mention tangy? (#4043, 12/16/2010)
