BBB63 (3767), La Porte, Indiana, USA Aug 7, 2008 2008 MiBGF: Golden hue with a small head. The aroma has notes of grassy and herbal hops with a biscuity vapour. The taste is twangy and bitter, nicely balanced with the malt, Slightly hop spiced towards the finish. The mouth feel is lively and refreshing. Not too shabby, would like to see on a hand pull real ale. Silphium (2006), Lansing, Michigan, USA Dec 7, 2007 On tap at Reno’s West, Lansing. Pretty standard offering, similar to several of Dragonmead’s other hoppy beers, but with less malt emphasis, instead focusing on the grassy, medicinal hops. Light-bodied and smooth. Tmoney99 (3503), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Apr 2, 2007 Draft at Ashleys. Poured clear copper color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet bitter flavor with a medium balanced bitter finish of long duration. Sammy (3023), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 1, 2007 Light orange with white head and lace, At the brewpub. Lighter mouthfeel yet higher carbonation. Not that bitter,An average beer, but a sessionable ABV.
after4ever (1696), Brier, Washington, USA May 23, 2006 12-oz bottle. Pours a beautiful semi-translucent brown with a thin white head. Virtually nothing on the nose, but there’s a rich medium-bodied creaminess on the tongue, and there’s tons of sweet malt under a gentle hop layer. The finish is clean and even a little sweet. It’s a very mild-mannered IPA...really more of a pale ale or maybe an amber, but delicious no matter what they call it.
