Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a mostly clear gold with a small finger of foam that dissipates. Tangy citrus aromas with lime, orange and pineapple. Light honey, medium body with some smoothness on the palate. Tropical fruit skin, pine. Not bad. --- Beer merged from original tick of Points On the Back End on 14 Jun 2019 at 21:46 - Score: 7.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a deep brown to black with a small off-white head that dissipates. Lovely roasted malt and dark fruit aromas with fig, prune and very faint blueberry as it warms up. Deep cacao nib and dark fruit on the palate. Full bodied and slightly warming, but by no means boozy. Smooth and silky on the palate. Lingering fig and cacao. Great stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Lousy Smarch Weather on 25 Mar 2019 at 21:36 - Score: 7

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy, milky gold with a full finger of white foam that lingers. Big pungent durian and grapefruit aromas. Creamy on the palate with some slight hop burn acidity. More citrus as dank pine. A bit of scratchy yeast on the palate and in the bottom of the glass. --- Beer merged from original tick of Proof of Purchase on 28 Feb 2019 at 12:57 - Score: 7

Draft at Smith & Lentz. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Dank pineapple and passion fruit aromas...faint banana & peach as it warms. Smooth, more dank tropical flavors. Low bitterness with a creamy mouthfeel. Really solid NE style where the great nose transfers to the palate effortlessly. Nice beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Scarves & Miracles on 28 Dec 2018 at 14:46 - Score: 8.

Draft at Smith & Lentz Brewing. Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Lemony, piney hop aromas on the nose with some chiffon cake notes as it warms. Piney, lemongrass on the palate. Light easy drinking. Medium bitterness but doesn't really go anywhere exciting. --- Beer merged from original tick of Golden Ticket IPA on 28 Dec 2018 at 14:45 - Score: 6.

Draft at Smith & Lentz. Pours a hazy orange gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Dank nose with cherry & white grape aromas really standing out. Spritzy carbonation on the palate with some slight creaminess. More bright muscat, lychee, pineapple, strawberry. Really great hop aromas and flavors coming out of this one. Smooth finish with lingering tropical fruit salad and muscat. --- Beer merged from original tick of Ace Note IPA on 28 Dec 2018 at 14:49 - Score: 8.

Draft at Smith & Lentz. Pours a clear, deep gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Nose feels a little off with strong grape aromas and wet paper. Flat with low carbonation. Watery, grape koolaid-like notes on the palate. Low bitterness but something doesn't feel right here. Not one of S&L's best. --- Beer merged from original tick of Domistyle on 28 Dec 2018 at 14:51 - Score: 5. Original review text: Weird nose w/ some grape, wet paper. Flat with low carbonation. Watery, grape koolaid. Low bitterness. Something is not right here.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy straw gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Grassy, leafy nose with a lot of green character. Notes of arugula, fresh leaves and white grapefruit as it warms. Good body for session IPA though...not overly thin at all. Green and pithy bitterness on the finish, but some borderline astringency that kicks in at the end. --- Beer merged from original tick of Died Screaming on 30 Nov 2018 at 22:27 - Score: 7. Original review text: Grassy, leafy nose with a lot of green character. Good body for session ipa. Green and pithy bitterness. Borderline astringent buit still ok

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a deep brown to black with a small bit of off-white head that lingers. Creamy chocolate nose with fresh ground espresso notes. Roasty coffee and creamy oats on the palate. More cacao powder and coffee on the end. Well executed if not a bit tame. This could work well in a barrel. --- Beer merged from original tick of RhinOverture on 29 Sep 2018 at 12:36 - Score: 7. Original review text: Creamy chocolate nose with fresh ground espresso notes.
