Aug 11, 2009 Tap at Daddy-O’s in the village. Poured a dark amber with a thin head. Light hop and malt nose. Nice malt base with some light hops makes a decent session beer. Malt seems to dominate the hop notes.

Apr 16, 2009 Growler fill from Big Z - I got this because it was the cheapest growler fill at the store, plus it was a rating - when am I going to stop doing that to myself? - anyway, this beer has potential - medium bready malt aroma, with some notes of rye, caraway, herbal hops - the flavor is a little bready and lightly sweet up front, but it gets dry and very bitter quite fast - the hops are earthy and flavorful, but there is a metallic character behind them that detracts from the enjoyment of the beer - this flavor is mild enough not to ruin things entirely, but the flavor of copper in any amount is a bit off-putting.

Mar 29, 2009 Cask at the Manhattan Cask Fest. Metallic aluminum and bitter hops aroma. Dull, oxidized grape skins and cumin. Dryish metallic hay and wheat flavor, bitter, tons of metal everywhere.

Jan 31, 2009 Draft at RnH. If some dude didn’t sit next to me reeking of cheap cologne, I’d be able to maybe smell this. Nice head retention on a gold body. Flavor is (jeez this fuckers cologne is all in my beer) sweet tangerine and tasty malts. Actually a better beer than I thought it would be. Lingering bitterness. I gotta move to the other end of the bar.

Jan 19, 2009 Tap at Press 195 in Bayside, NY. Deep orange pour with a dense off-white head. Sweet, yet soft caramel sweetness in the aroma with a touch of spicy orangey cascade hops. Very light, slightly fluffy feel. Lots of caramel sweetness in the base, which accentuates with warmth. Seems almost like dextrose (but it’s tap?) Some mild grain notes underlie the caramel with husk and diacetyl. There’s some light resiny bitterness that lingers, making it somewhat drinkable. Despite its lack of character, this stuff blows away Porkslap and Snapper.

Jan 15, 2009 Called Landin OutRage IPA, on tap at Rattle-n-Hum. Fresh, mellow aroma. Pretty dry, light IPA, with a touch of citrus.

Jan 12, 2009 Draft at rattle & hum. Amber. Lots of head. Some frutis and sweet hops. Not too bad.
