(draft) The color of clear weak tea. Light aroma of floral hops. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor decent but mild. The slightly bitter finish went away after a few sips. A good session beer.

(draft) Clear light brown. No detectable aroma or flavor. There was a slightly bitter hoppy finish, but not enough to be completely disgusting. A waste of my time.

(draft) Very I'd never have guessed that this was an IPA. The aroma was mostly of malt and dirt, but good. Flavor was a little peaty and a little smoky. I liked it a lot more than I expected to.

(draft) Hazy gold. No detectable head. Interestingly floral aroma. Nice flavor. Whatever hops are in this, they're the kind that I like. Good.

(bottle) Clear dark copper. A lighter aroma that I was expecting; mostly of malts and caramel. The flavor is quite dry and it finishes more like an IPA than anything else. They're calling this a barleywine, but there's none of the weirdness that I usually associated with that style. Decent is all I can say.

(draft) Clear light copper in color. Aroma of grass. Flavor neither piney nor floral. Kind of like a mixture. There was a slight metallic finish. Decent is all I can say about this.

(draft) Cloudy gold, huge heaping head. A mild yeast and citrus aroma. Flavor was acidic with oranges and hops. Not bad, not good.

(draft) Just had a small sample of this, as IPA is probably my least favorite style. This didn't taste too bad until I swallowed it, then the hoppiness made itself known. A pretty heavy beer, one that I probably won't bother having again. A little flowery in the flavor.

(draft) Looks like a brown ale, smells like an alt, but tastes like an IPA. Bitter flavor followed with a bitter finish. An Altbier is supposed to be balanced, dammit! A very disappointing beer from one of my favorite breweries.

(draft) One of the better IPAs, but that's not saying too much for someone like me that doesn't like the style. Just decent, nothing more. Not bitter but a little sour.

(bottle) Pours black with a minimal light tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and asphalt. Medium mouthfeel. Slightly burnt malty flavor. Nice clean finish. Good, actually.

(draft) Clear light amber. Good mound of foam. Smells and tastes like hops and alcohol. Kinda gross, but some people will probably like it.

(draft) Clear copper with a firm white head. Aroma of flowers and bubble gum - very intriguing. Flavor was very complex and hard to describe. There was definitely some lingering hop bitterness at the finish but it was accompanied by the complex flavors so it wasn't overpowering at all. An IPA that I actually like. Wonders never cease.

(bottle) Cloudy brown with a large white head. Aroma of grapefruit and alcohol. Medium mouthfeel. Very hoppy but balanced with malts until after swallowing when the finish is quite bitter and lasting. Probably a very good beer, but it's not my style, so all I can say is decent.

(draft) In memory of TallLady. Clear light amber. Huge white head. Strong floral and citrusy aroma. Creamy mouthfeel. Nice flavor, much more tame than I was expecting. No detectable bitterness, which is fine with me. Actually decent, almost good.

(draft) Black with a tan head that faded quickly. Malty aroma. Thin mouthfeel. Decent flavor of malts and licorice. Disgusting hoppy metallic finish. Gross.

(draft) Hazy yellow. Huge head. Aroma maybe a little woody, hard to describe. Flavor was mostly sweet molasses and caramel. The bitter sting at the finish I attributed to alcohol, and not hops. Decent, not quite good.
