Sampled at the brewery on 11/30/06: Clear deep golden pour with a nicely-lacing white head. Aroma has a lot of fresh grapefruity and piny hops with some sweet caramel malt. Body starts sweet and caramely viscous with a good fresh flavor and bittering hoppy presence. Nicely-balanced, crisp and drinkable.

Draught. ??My notes, taken from the blackboard, talk about Fathom IPA?? Good yellow head, leaving some lace: pale orangey beer. Very grapey, dry hops, bit salty/oystershell (high DMS?), fruity end. Dry hops, less bitter than expected, orange marmalade and a pinch of quinine. Medium bodied, slick, some alcohol ’t would seem. Good, if unspectacular. If it is really a lager, then it would be spectacular indeeed.

Draft @ the brew shop. Pored a clear gold color with n off-white head. The aroma was crisp but very hoppy with cirtusy grapefruit notes. Good caramel malt base. Big citrusy hop flavors all throughout from front to back. Large crips dry long bitter finish.

Tap @ Hams. Pours yellow with a bright white head. Nose is light and relatively hoppy. The taste is hoppy and pretty bitter with a resin character. A bit too bitter for my palate. Also my first beer back from being sick.

On tap with the brewer. Clear golden, resiliant head. Aroma is herbacious and slightly citrus. Earthy with a touch of toffee. Taste is citrus andherbal. Crisp and good! Light caramel table sugar malt background. Could have fooled me as a real hop forward IPA. Crisp, medium carb, good!
