Location: 12 oz bottle from Melville Superstar Beverage, 7/30/14
Aroma: The nose is clean, fresh cut grass, some orange/citrus, with earth and spice notes
Appearance: It pours a cloudy gold-orange color with a thin head and some streaky lacework
Flavor: Tastes a little thinner, lightly sweet, with some spice, and a medium bitter finish
Palate: The body is fairly light, with a fairly fizzy carbonation, and a long, mid-dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this one was only okay. I felt like the aroma was a good bit better than the flavor, which is not usually a great sign. It is a decent beer, but I wouldn't rush off to get another one.

Pours gold into a shaker. White head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sweet tropical fruit and resin aromas. Soft with caramel and mild grapefruit font to back.

12oz bottle from Wegman’s, Buffalo, NY. A murky amber pour with a billowing cream head; yeasty citrus aroma; soft muddy malty taste, with a little grapefruit; and a soap apricot finish with lingering bready yeast. If this is aimed at novice IPA drinkers it needs to be bright and clear to start with.

Sampled on draft at Dad’s Pub & Grub this beer poured a hazy yellow-gold color with a large foamy white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was faint citrus and perfumey hops. The flavor was dryish, tart, chalky and bitter with notes of perfume and lemon. Medium length tart chalk and perfume finish. Light to medium body. Meh.

Hazy light tan. Looks flat but has a big head - go figure. The hop has a slightly dull apple-pear character and the malts are a little doughy. On the palate, it’s a fizzy, caramelly amber, definitely missing the mark of what a session IPA should be.

Has a nice initial apple aroma. Pours golden with OK head and lacing. Finishes with some bitterness and some sourness. OK session IPA. Tap at Churchkey. Thanks to Drake!

Bottle. Pours a nice gold with a foamy head and aromas of floral hops and some sort of old lady soap smell. Flavor is floral and soapy with a honey malt presence. Could be much better with a little more assertiveness.
