Mar 29, 2009 Tap at Capones. Pours a nice somewhat clear orangey amber with a nice massive lasting whtie sticky head- good palce as well. Aroma is very fresh- tons of PNW hops- fresh this years batch of Columbus- piney gritty, sappy, and almost has a raw weed- very skunky in a good way with hints of mint to the hops. Flavor is also packed with citrus and piney hops with hints of mint and week, very raw, slight earth, ok caramel sweetness just for a backbone, but the mid palate and finish are just a shit ton of raw hoppy bitterness that has some serious power to it- very resinous. Awesome.

Mar 29, 2009 Location: Draft sampling from Whole Foods (Bowery @ Houston St.)...picked up a growler too.
Aroma: Citrus fruits, slightly floral, maybe some pine
Appearance: Slightly hazy orange color, white head
Flavor: Nice citrus hoppiness, some malt backing as well, but the hops are the king here
Palate: Really nice drink to this one, medium-to-full body, nice mouthfeel
Overall Impression:
Of all the beers I tried at the Bear Republic tasting at Whole Foods, this was by far my favorite (hence the Growler purchase after the tasting). Really nice example of a style that I love. These guys make some really good beers, and this was one of the bests I’ve had from them.

Mar 29, 2009 On tap at capones. Poured into a pint glass. Decent head. Redish dark color to it. Nice nose on it....citrus and some pine. Taste is hoppy and malty, very well balanced. Touch of sweetness in the aftertaste. Average texture, easy to drink. Good beer. Overall...considering I had a PTY and PTE right before this, it held up to them quite well.

Mar 23, 2009 Draught at The Red in Santa Cruz. Amber orange with a small white head. Sweet grapefruit and floral hop aroma. The flavor has a moderately sweet, malt base with lots of grapefruit and other fruity bits. The finish is firmly bitter and hoppy, though still a bit restrained and balanced. Medium-full, mostly clean body. Nice, somewhat balanced citrus-bomb, though I think I prefer the oily hoppiness of Racer X to this.
