BBB63 (3843), 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. Tmoney99 (3740), 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. ClarkVV (3550), Allston, Massachusetts, USA Oct 5, 2003 Pours the usual, amber with some lighter golden hues, and a small head. Smells only mildly hoppy, not much else. Starts out slightly hoppy with a twang of bitterness, but some very sweet malt, maybe too sweet for this style, comes in to play. Body holds up though, decent medium body and ends on a slightly bitter note. As it warms, there is a true hops flavor comes through, with a soft creamy texture. Good, but fairly laid back. Sammy (3242), 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.
Pailhead (2339), Allen Park, Michigan, USA Nov 10, 2004 On tap: Light hop aroma. Transparent amber with a white head. Not much initial taste but great hop finish. Not very impressed with Dragonmead’s IPA’s. Just not enough taste up front to rate higher.
