On tap at Brewgrass. Pours cloudy yellow with a good head. This smells quite herby and estery, though not as potent as I’d like an IPA. Hints of pine, wood, pineapple, pot, are in the nose. The sweetness in the flavor is interesting. It almost has near-Belgian hints which compliment the very dry finish. This is a clean IPA and leans heavily towards herbs and wood rather than citrus. Adequate pine and sess can be found in the flavor which creates a dry, stinging palate. I liked this one, it blew me away by Depot Street standards. It’s a little different for an American brewed IPA and quite good.

Sep 22, 2008 Orange, white head. Earthy aroma, kinda dirty and woodsy, too. Flavor is also rather earthy at first, but balances out with some nice piney hops. Very quaffable on ahot day. Sampled at Brewgrass 2008.
