| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2008 bottle. Hazy orange in color with a medium off white head. Aroma of citrus hops- a good amount of cascade- maybe some amarillo, some darker crystal malt, and some earthy resinous hops. Taste has a good amount of hop character- earth and citrus, some light sticky crystal malts, and a moderate lingering bitterness that gets a touch abrasive. Nice IPA that is a bit above average. scraff (1955), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 27, 2008 Tasting - Perfect Pour - Dark amber, creamy off white head. Rich caramel nougat and peachy pine aromas warm to soft honey spruce notes. Sugared fruity and pine hop flavors balance on a bready caramel backbone from start to finish. Loads of hop flavor without any bite. Medium bodied with pillow soft carbonation. A very different, but tasty IPA... tronraner (1938), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 21, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours dark rust color with tight beige head. The aroma is sweet and citrusy, with honey, tangerine, brown sugar, pineapple, a little bit of pine. The flavor has a mellow maltiness and a resinous hop flavor, followed by a rather assertive piney bitterness. It finishes with some burnt caramel and wood, and some more hops. This one is very tasty.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | May 14, 2008 murky and hazed red bright brown body. dirty flower petals. lasting thick bubbled head that is all white. just a touch of lemon in the nosetastes like my uncle jesse’s front porch smelled when i was a kid . dusty with the wind bringing the scent of the pines and the honeysuckle hanging from the fence line, but under it all dirt, oil, sweat, clay and old wood of everything because everything around there was old even back then the smell of the metal that was always around from the poles holding up the roof to cemtn . the berry patch that grew to the south by the pear tree and at the edge of the property the grape vines that grew fat & so dark that they seemed black all this with the constant sound of a motor somewhere. the wind, the creak of the trees and the constant distant voices just beyond understanding that came from all the other family houses just on the edge. damn. i ramble when i drink sometimes. decent beer.
