Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a glowing gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Citrus forward nose with peach and mango notes. Clean with medium to strong bitterness that permeates. Lingering bitterness, with pith. Too bitter for the style, but very drinkable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pedal Tavern IPA on 21 Jan 2018 at 00:04 - Score: 7.

Can from Ales by Mail. Tastes a bit like watermelon. Not much like a beer. Sickly.

Rachel brought this one back form a trip to Nashville. ++ Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a very dark brown color with orange highlights and a large foamy brown head that left decent lacing. The aroma was toasty and malty with a hint of cocoa. The flavor was bitterish with toasty malts, cocoa and some vague nut. Long finish. Medium body. Disappointing.

On tap at Hops & Craft, pours black with a reddish tinge and a medium tan head. Aroma brings out lots of cinnamon upfront, with toasted caramel and bready malt. Flavour is similar, with lots of cinnamon, raisins, and toasted bread. Fun beer, but a really light palate and not much depth to it. Okay.

On tap at Hops & Craft, pours black with a small tan head. Nose brings out light lactose and dry cocoa. Flavour is very dry, with light dry cocoa and some lactose. Dry and silky mouthfeel. Not much depth, but it works well enough.

Can from Worldwide Alcohol, Chelmsford. Pours orange amber colour with a small white head. Aroma of pink grapefruit, caramel, grass and hop. Light sweetness, towards heavy bitterness, moderate sour. Medium body, oily texture, above average carbonation. Grapefruit finish. Does what it says on the can.

Rachel brought this one back from her trip to Nashville. ++ Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a hazy peach color with a large soapy yellow-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet sugar and grapefruit soda. The flavor was bitter and tart with grapefruit soda and citric hops. Medium length finish. Medium body. Interesting.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a clearish gold with a small bit of white head. Nice citrus forward nose, tangerine, peach. Clean crisp good bitterness. Piney, citrus finish. Another solid IPA from TailGate. Really nice west coast styled take. --- Beer merged from original tick of Planes, Cranes & Automobiles on 01 Dec 2017 at 22:56 - Score: 7.

Dark color with a tan head. Nice lacing. Ok intensity in the aroma. Peanut butter… Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Tad sweet and a bit oily. Toffee and peanut butter o hoi in the flavor. Nah not really a success this one. Managed to end a small glass.
