UPDATED: MAR 2, 2021 This is a backlog rating from 2014 on draft at the source, from notes. When I had this beer it was average to below average for the style and not something I wanted to have again or I just didn't get back to my notes because of my technology at the time, work and/or family. Words to describe this beer are citrus, dank, moderately bitter hops, toasted pale malts.

tap in Asheville - solid overall "house" IPA - nothing crazy distinct, but still quite good

Can. Judging be the ambitious name, I was expecting more out of this but was underwhelmed. Moderate hop flavor with a bit of bitterness. Seemed a bit thin, lacking something. Good beer but would not buy again.

Not really an interesting IPA, but not a bad one. It pours orange in color with very little foam. The aroma is a little bit of grassy hops, vegetables, and mildly sweet notes. The flavor is dominated by the hops in a perfectly acceptable way. The malt is not undetectable. Decent.

Where and how: tasting @ VB , can 355 ml
Aroma: woody with hint of citrus, mild feel of malts, sweeter finish. 6+
Appearance :
Top: short lived, rock, medium sized cap. Rings on glass. <br Base: hazy amber.
Palate : thin bodied, semi soft texture. Softer carbonation, average intensity.
Taste: mix of hops and malts, fairly in balance. Milder, mellow mid. Gentle hop feel on top.
other notes refreshing pale ale.

Can from Bruisin Ales. Pours lightly copper tinged gold with a white head. Aroma of fruity hop, mild these, and some not at all dark malt support. Med body, or nearly. Flavor is light fruity hop, some light caramel, and a pretty decent dose of bitter. Not kidding about the 65 IBU. Sort of English bitter on a rocket. And I don’t mean arugula. Or maybe I should, since the hop is a bit herbal. The fruit hop likely isn’t bitterifying (new word there!) this ale. I’m pretty much liking it.

On draft at brewery. Aroma is floral hops, bready malts. Taste is spicy floral hops. Peppery. A bit of noble pils malt.

Can. Hazy gold with a white head. Hoppy aroma with citrus, floral and resinous notes. Mildly bitter.

Cloudy yellow with a thin white head. Spicey hoppy aroma. Medium bodied and a bit whiney and sweet and with a dry finish ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
