(Ram Restaurant and Brewery, Schaumburg, IL) Draft... DLD’08... Clear golden ale with a large, creamy, off-white head. No retention, but nice lacework. Toffee and citrus notes dominate the aroma. Medium-bodied with a ridiculously dry mouthfeel and tingly carbonation. Finishes violently bitter and sucks all moisture from my mouth. Over-attenuated, for certain. Still, an aromatic, tasty brew.

Jun 18, 2008 On tap at brewpub in downtown Indianapolis. Thought this was an easy-drinking, flavorful IPA. Light amber body with an off-white, fizzy head that was lasting. Aroma of citrus and toffee — hints of grapefruit, pine. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. The bitterness kicks up a notch in the finish. Medium body with a watery texture. Lively carbonation. Very dry.

Jun 17, 2008 A generous gift from my dear friend Emilee :) An attractive reddish-copper colour with an always decent white head with excellent retention. Very nice lacing scattered along the glass. soft citrus fruit, well balanced hop character, a little earth and nice fruit flavor.

May 9, 2008 On tap in Wheeling, IL. Pretty reddish-brown color with a lacy head. Hop profile is Amarillo all the way, citrusy & a little bit grapefruity, with an acidic puckering, kind of reminded me of Alpha King in some ways. Relentless, bitter aftertaste that lingers on the palate like crazy. Barely any malt detectable. Kind of makes you want a glass of water. It’s not bad, give it a try. Who the hell is that guy in the logo? He looks like he has a swollen face. Maybe from bee stings.

Apr 20, 2008 Poured an attractive ruby and copper with a fairly compact, but lightly creamy off-white head. Very good lacing. The aroma was nice and hoppy. Pine, cut with lighter citrus and floral. Hardly any malt sweetness noted, but oh well. The flavor was hop heavy. The pine and floral hops steamrolled the malts leaving it out of balance. Some tart citrus as well. Average mouthfeel. Pretty nice beer.
