Aug 5, 2008 Draft... Clear amber ale with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. Medium-bodied and chewy with ticklish carbonation. Both the flavor and the aroma are malty offerings of caramel, toffee, brown sugar and biscuit with a passable note of citrus fruit. Medium to heavy sweetness; moderate grapefruit and pine needle bitterness. Sweet, roasty, lightly bitter finish. Think Red Head Red Ale with more hops.

Jan 20, 2008 on tap-pours a dissipating off white head and amber color. Aroma is mild citrus/pine, medium malt. Taste is citrus/pine-bitter hops first, then balanced by medium malt-caramel. Medium body. OK carbonation. Improves when moves to cellar temperature. Dry finish.

Nov 5, 2007 Pint on tap at brewery that pours a hazy copper with orange edges and thin white head. Mild aroma with some malt sweetness mixed with a punch of grapefruit hops. The taste is certainly an IPA. A mild malt sweetness starts things out for a moment until a fresh bitter grapefruit hoppiness kicks in. Nice hop experience with the tingling bitterness mixing with an upwelling of mild roasted malt sweetness.

Oct 31, 2007 Growler provided by hopdog. Pours golden/amber color with smallish white head. Citrus and grassy/earthy notes dominate the aroma. Flavor is relatively subdued, with some citrus, pine and a little malt. Not bad.
