Draft at the Brewpub, July 2006. An orange beer with a thin off-white hea.d The aroma is sweet with light notes of hops, fruit, and grass. The flavor is sweet malty and rather hoppy, early on from aroma hops, but it carries thru and gives a good bitterness in the end, which lasts for a long time, with an underlying note of fruit.

Golden with white head. Aroma is medium citric, and flavor is strong grapefruit. Solid albeit formulaic IPA.

on cask (better than on tap)-pours a retaining off white head that laces and copper/amber color. Aroma is nice citrus/pine northwest hops (cascade, Amarillo?), secondary medium malt-caramel. Taste is nice citrus/pine northwest hops (cascade, Amarillo?) with a hit of bitter, secondary medium malt-caramel. Minimum/soft carbonation.

On tap at the brewpub on 1/19/07: Pours a transparent bronze with a thin-lacing off-white head. Lightly sweet malty aroma has a touch of grapefruity hops. Body starts with a good balance of lightly toasted malty sweetness and fresh citrusy hops.

On cask at the brewpub on 1/19/07: warmer and less carbonated as expected, but is slightly more complex and drinkable with a touch of fruity esters.

Dark gold in color. Almost no head. The aroma is very floral and hoppy. The flavor is malty, but bitter. Perfectly unbalanced. A dry, bitter finish. HopHeads, it’s time for a roadtrip to Frederick, MD.

Bottle courtesy pf beachbum25. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of caramel, some roses, citrus. Tastes of caramel with a light peppery undertone. Decent.

Kind of a standard IPA... lightly grassy, lightly bitter, a bit oily at times, some fruity and grassy hops in the nose, the fruit resembling fruit cocktail - pears, oranges and whatnot, but not dank or overly hoppy. Medium bodied, lightly fruity, with a bit of a burnt grain and burnt fruit character. OK.

Draught, at the brewpub, July 2006. Gingery, almost lucozade, colour. Fresh, citric hop aroma. Grapefruit more prominent on the palate. Also some tropical fruit touches. Like the other beers here, good solid brewpub fare. Not a hop bomb - just decent, drinkable stuff.
