Draught at Against the Grain. Hazy orange with a firm head. Aroma is big tropical fruit. Chalky hop, pine and fruit, big mouth kick, mellows out nicely as it goes down. Very dry palate, nice, not overly big.

Many thanks to Beersiveknown for this bottle. Fresh and floral. Not too intense. A bit watery, but fresh and malty. Nice bitter aftertaste.

Reddish amber, clear, slight off white bubbly head that dissipates, slight lacing
Aroma - Light fruits, very soft citrus, little on the nose
Taste - soft light caramel malts, red berry malts, bit dull
Palate - Medium carb, bit over fizzy, light body. Finish of soft bitter hop, soft berry fruits, caramel malt linger, finish is better
Overall - Average Irish red ale - not unpleasant but found it rather dull...needs more oomph

Draught at ICBF14. Light amber with a thin head. Aroma is biscuit hop. Flavour strays citrusy, gentle. Hippiness starts to kick in after a bit. A little sweet, malty on a long dry finish. Dry sour bitter palate.

Interesting having the C No Evil first because that had some interesting flavors and complexities to it, this however, as being their major release, it disappointing. Pours a completely flat clear amber into the tulip glass, not a hint of a head, aroma of floral hops and some sweet cheerio-like malts. Taste is bland, malt-forward, some citrus and floral from the hops, but mainly just watered-down malt sweetness. Creating a session IPA out of the gate is asking to be viewed poorly. Unless you’re Founders or Sierra Nevada, and have created some spectacular IPA’s, this is a misstep.

Bottle from Drinkstore, Dublin [100414]
Amber, clear, bubbly white head
Aroma of soft sweet caramel malts, soft pine, dab of resinous hops, bit of an unusual scorched caramelized orange note
Taste of soft citrus zest, dab of grassy hops. sweet caramel malts, quite malty, caramelized orange malts, not overly hoppy
Palate - soft carb, medium body, quite oily. Faorly sweet, very soft bitter zest. Finish as main flavour, quite rapid, touch more bitter zest
Overall - OK, taste and aroma had a slighty unusual note. I was expecting a hopbomb and it wasn’t. Throwing more hops into this will improve it a lot, i’m sure.

Keg at ATG, clear bright yellow pour, medium white head that dissipated quickly, some lacing on the glass. Weaker aroma than I would like from a PA, especially with centennial hops which normally give off a smack of pine from the head, but this was more subdued. Nice full mouthfeel, good carbonation. Crisp pine and fruity hop notes in the flavor with a solid bready malt backbone. Nice session beer.
