had this on tap at the brewery in a pint glass
pours gold yellow amber moderate white head slight haze
smell hoppy slightly piney or fruity
taste same some pine some fruit no real strong taste i thnk they may call this sessionable due to how easy it is to drink despite the higher alcohol
mild bitter aftertaste
carbonated and effervescent
not bad not great
will drink again when there

 

 

 

a fine ipa, but this could have come from almost any little brewery in the country, seems like basic grains, basic hops, basic processes, and basic recipe, there is very little here that stands out to me, aside from how fresh the beer is from the tap. its golden in color, a hint of amber swirling in it, a sign of a bit of crystal malt in the 50 or 60 range, and a tall white head on it with great retention. it smells and tastes like C varietal hops with good bitterness and oily properties alike, but a little underdeveloped on both fronts. well carbonated and refreshing in that its plenty dry and the finish is clean for the style. maybe a little filling with the body seemingly growing as it warms, but a good sturdy american ipa with nothing really wrong with it. id like to see this get a more interesting dry hopping, but its a good base brew.

 

Pours a nice autumnal gold that is not quite clear. Fine light white head and held up well. Pineapple, mango, peach and slightly tart star fruit on the nose. The tropical fruit nose are upfront with pine mid palate and a bitter hop finish characteristic of an English style IPA. Thirst quenching and clean finish.

 

On tap at the brewery. Their website lists it as a session IPA but the board at the brewery claimed it was like ~7% so I'm confused. orange-amber color, so-so head. Aroma was pretty muted and boring. Flavor was much the same. I guess you could call this an IPA but it had no real aromatic or flavor qualities that stood out, it was just kind of a beer.
