Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Starting things out on a positive not, this beer pours very dark golden with a nice thick egg white head that is fully retained. Lacing looks good as well. Aroma is hoppy, but rather in a restrained fashion. Flavor is again hoppy, but not the slap you in the face fashion I look for in my IPAs. Bit of malt sweetness in the package to balance thi
Decent pour, weak amber color but respectable lace. Floral and citrusy on the nose with hints of grain and green grass. Taste is of rind up front, tinge of malt with a very thin watery finish. Hops are present but then lost, to mimic what someone else said. Very light-bodied and overall a very timid brew. Lost and uncertain.
Slightly cloudy golden orange, thin white head. Citrus aroma. Melony, fruity hops. Undistinguished malt profile, clean crisp finish.
