3.8 Was first introduced to this brewery about 6-12 months ago when they started distributing to FL. Tried their porter which was decent. Recently moved to Maryland so naturally had to sample this one. Seems to be one of the standard IPAs on tap up here, which I had with a dinner/lunch pairing. Cloudy medium orange appearance. Leans towards the hop side of balance. Smooth and crisp texture. Another one that I'll probably get a 6 of to get a better idea.

3.7 August 2017 - Cask, gravity dispense, at GBBF 2017, Kensington Olympia. As 'Evolution Craft Lot No3 IPA'. Dark orange, almost brown, hazy with a foamy white head. Aroma is elderflower and plasticine. Body is smooth with soft carbonation. Taste is boiled sweets, mixed citrus, juicy fruit sugars, grassy finish. Nice stuff. (7-4-7-4-15=3.7)

3.9 2nd beer of night. Doesn't smell as good but tastes pretty good. May need to try clean.

3.7 Pours amber leaving some nice lacings. Quite fruity aroma, some fresh hops there also. Taste is creamy and hoppy at the same time, very smooth IPA. Malty base well balanced with decent hop character. Guava feel there for some reason. Dry malty-bitter finish.

3.4 Ripe citrus fruits, sweet orange, caramel, molasses. Slightly hazy gold, tiny, frothy, white head. Light sweet. More sweet tropical and citrus fruits, ripe, candied fruits, soft carbonation, medium bodied. Nice IPA, well-balanced. Cask at GBBF17, Kensington Olympia.

3.1 Cask at GBBF. It pours hazy amber with a small white head. The aroma is sticky, toffee, fudge, honey, dried fruits, fruit cake, candied orange and sugar. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, wood, leather, tannin, orange peel, toffee, sugar, crystal malt and marmalade with drying finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and oily mouth-feel. A bit sweet, could have more condition.
