3.58/5  rDev -9.1%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: Pours a dark golden-straw body with a generous head. Nice lacing on the glass.

Smell: Grainy and earthy with some floral notes.

Taste: A bit of citrus fruit is balanced with a grainy malt backbone. Definitely a grass/earth bitterness as it finishes.

Mouthfeel: Light-medium body, well-carbonated, and a dry finish.

Overall: I didn't get the fruity hop character that I've experienced with most Pipeworks beers and it left me slightly disappointed. Too grainy for me.

(Served in a tulip glass)
Batch 43
A- This beer pours a deep orange body with a rocky light beige head that takes up half the glass. It sticks to the class in sheets and is supported by a tiny carbonation.

S- The plastic note turns into a new sneaker hint and is taken over by a slight yeasty green hop aroma that finishes with a bit of a caramel malt hint popping through.

T- The spicy hops note leads to a creamy pale malt flavor that changes to a green pungent hop finish. There is some woody hop character to the finish with a cardamom quality to the hops as it opens.

M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a tight little fizz in the finish.

O- This is a nice easy sipping pale ale with a spicy pungent hop flavor that takes on an odd plastic smell. This just got put on the shelves at the local Binny’s and I didn’t realize it was from batch 43 until I cracked it open. I hope to find a fresher sample and re review.
