4.1 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 neurbob (45) - - SEP 26, 2015
UPDATED: OCT 3, 2015 Growler from Copperpoint brewery to IPA glass. Red amber clear pour. Nice foamy orangish head. Amazing aroma multiple fruits on mild syrup, spring flowers. Moderate carbonation. Great balance of toasty malt/ slight caramel / lots of citrus and melony fruit, and sharp hop bitterness that attenuates rapidly. Slight astringency. Impressive red IPA from local brewery.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 hopscotch (10228) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - AUG 30, 2015
Draft
Pours mostly clear and dirty-orange with a creamy, white head. The aroma consists of a medley of melons and lesser components of musky and funky hops. Full-bodied and almost chewy with tickling carbonation. The flavor is bitter, boasting stone fruits, citrus fruits and melon rinds. There is a nice caramely, malty character, but its ass is soundly kicked by heavy doses of lupulin. However, it does keep things interesting and tolerable for me, providing a semblance of balance. This is a little too bitter for my aging, malt-loving palate.

Reddish- amber, lots of hop, a bit floral and peachy. Light bitterness, malts are a bit sweet, toasted biscuit, and the hops are mellow with a slight floral note.
