Location: Draft at the brewpub, 7/16/14

Aroma: the nose has some grapefruit/citrus, some caramel, and a little butterscotch
Appearance: The pour is an amber color, some off-white head, and some light lacework
Flavor: The taste is much the same, decent hop notes, malts, and a bit of sweetness
Palate: The body is medium, leaning light, with an okay mouthfeel, average carbonation
Overall Impression: This one wasn't a favorite for me. It is a solid enough example of a style, but just not one that quite hit the mark for my expectations.

A lightly hazed golden amber ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, smooth butterscotch malt with light resinous hops, not bad. In mouth, a smooth biscuit malt with light British hops, but some cloying butterscotch notes. On tap at brewpub, Nov. 11 2011.

5 oz mini nonic pint sample at the brewery in Chicago, Illinois. Pour is darker copper, clear with an off white head. Aroma is pretty faint, I get spice and floral, touch of dank but pretty subdued. Taste picks up with nice resin hop, some caramel malt, perhaps a hint of iced tea in the back. Palate is medium bodied, dry clean finish.

Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a clear orange-amber color with a medium foamy off-white head that burns away slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops and malt. Medium body with a moderately bitter citrus hops character backed up by sweet malt and toffee. The finish is hoppy with a lingering citrus aftertaste. Above average Pale overall.

Draft taster, June 7. Darker than the Best Coast IPA, almost brown, with a thicker, spongy head. I could not get a hop smell through, for some reason. Instead something like fresh river water??? No idea why I should be so discombobulated. Then I got a taste of chocolate on my first sip. Then some fruitiness on the way down. Don’t why, I’ve just gotta call them as I see them. Still nice.
