A 500 ml bottle I bought at the local craft beer store several weeks ago, the label shows a born-on date of 10/27/20. Lone Pint has stepped up previously with me, time to see if that continues. I have my Buffalo Bayou snifter arrayed, the pour is an inviting yellow-gold topped with a tremendous head of arctic white foam. I lift for a smell and get pine and varnish. A drink now, a surprisingly strong hop forward presence followed by lemon, grass, grapefruit, pine cones and a touch of sweetness. Firmly bitter which I like. A lot of impact with only a 6.6% abv. Lone Pint comes through again, seems to be a pattern here.

On tap at Whip In, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is fairly dank and weedy in the hop department, with some phenols and biscuity malt. Flavour is similar, with piney hops, resins, light weed, a touch of phenols, and biscuity malt. Somewhat oily, with a piney, dank finish. Solid.

On tap at the Hay Merchant. An unclear, golden beer topped by a finger-thick off-white head leaving lacings. The aromas is a bit weak I think, but nice, with citrus peel notes, resins and a grassy touch. Not much room left for the malts. It’s pretty bitter on the palate, with citrus peel, pine cones and a subtle malty sweetness. Full body and a nice carbonation level, semi-sweet. Mostly bitter finish. A beer that starts off a bit boring, but sure isn’t. 140515

Location: Draft at Richmond Arms, 4/2/14
Aroma: Nose has some pine and citrus, some crystal malt, and some caramel
Appearance: It pours a hazed darker amber color with a beige head and average lace
Flavor: The taste is mid-sweet and mid-bitter, similar to the components of the nose
Palate: The body is medium, it has an alright mouthfeel, and average carbonation
Overall Impression: I thought this was a half decent, but ultimately unexciting IPA. This is a fine beer, but it is hardly more than that.

Sample at Hay Merchant. The beer pours a hazy dark amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of citrusy hops and grainy malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.
