CASK at The York. Nose is very plain with light malt and flower petals. Flavor much the same - this seems like a pale with its smooth grain and lightly hopped favors. Nice minerally finish on cask.

A nice little poke at all the double and triple IPA’s, this small beer is a bit hoppy and would be nice to sit and sip on for a while.

Somewhat enjoyable IPA. Served cold from tap. It looked like a macro in the glass, like a Pabst or Bud or something. Slightly unappealing at first, but the taste was decent. Not revelatory. Poured orange-ish with a thin white head. Good hops, no lacing, good medium body.

Overall just a bland half ipa. Tastes like corn chips. Saaz like bitterness with a dry finish. Not recommended.

10th rating of this mediocore IPA. On tap @ Toronado Sd. Pours orange with a bright white 1 finger head. Nose is slightly hoppy with a touch of citrus. Taste is hoppy with a bit of citrus as well. This for me was a big old eh.

an almost budweiser color, complete with bright white head. nose had spice-accented hop characteristics, a little musty, with hints of orange. hoppy flavors were very dry and orange like and the finish was sometimes grainy and chalky. the yeast here does not seem to contribute anything positive the overall beer but rather lets the hops and malts alone try to make this beer, and the hops and malts certainy need some help.

Pours a golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma is grainy and a little bit of citrus hops. Flavor is grainy, malty and a touch of earthy citrus hops.

On tap at O’brien’s. Pours with an orange-gold body topped by a thin head with little to no lacing. It’s slightly sweet and toasty with a grassy note and lots of noble hops. A nice English style IPA. Light to medium bodied and slightly dry yet smooth.
