| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 19, 2008 Bottle. Moderate roasted smell for the malt, light herbs for the hops, moderate dough for the yeast, with a faint wood note. Head is between frothy and fizzy, slightly off white, with no lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is clear orange tan. Flavor starts moderately acidic and finishes moderately acidic and bitter and a little sour. Palate is light to medium, dry with some stickiness and has a lively carbonation. It finishes moderately astringent. Not really bad aromas, but it’s definitely missing the piney/citrus smells I like from an IPA. Imaena (259), Portland, Maine, USA
