mj (4975), Colorado, USA Oct 17, 2008 Nitro at the brewpub. Creamy amber colored body, milky and hazy with a fine-bubbled creamy white head. Nose is fresh, oily, green hop oils, very vegetal and fresh, lacks the dankness and fruitiness of true IPA but fits in well with other harvest ale. Unfortunately there’s also this crusty spoiled bread and burnt nut note that overpowers the senses when you finally take a drink. Nasty crusty moldy and vegetal granola and burnt nuts.... ugh... bitterness is medium, texture is smooth and creamy, but flavor is difficult to deal with. This is a tough one to like.
