On-tap at some restaurant in Reno. Pours orange with a sudsy, off-white head, lots of lace. Smells nice. Grassy, earthy and bitter. Tastes grassy hoppy and earthy and bitter. Very good, tasty, clean. Medium body with good carbonation.

Jul 14, 2008 Tap at the brewpub. The body was dark gold to copper with a white head. The aroma was light grapefruit and almonds . The taste was bread dough and bitter bread crust. There was also a little bit of grapefruit.

Apr 5, 2008 On tap in the pub. On the low end of hops and oomph from what I expect from an IPA but certainly a drinkable and likable beer.

Mar 14, 2008 Tap @ brewpub: Clear copper color with a small white head. Hoppy aromas along with flat citrusy and juniper notes. The flavors are of the sweeter hop variety full of ripe apricots, junipers and fresh meadow grass. All of this is followed by a nice bitter trailer. Quite good.

Sep 15, 2007 4 ounce sample on tap at the California Brewer’s Festival. Sample #4. This was labelled as a pale ale. Spicy, peppery, piney hopped aroma. A bit sweet and metallic. Fair enough. Transparent copper body with a frothy, creamy, tan head. Nice lacing. Holy roasted malts. Light sweet flavors to start, becoming extremely malty, roasted, and toasted. A little spicy hoppiness to finish. Lots of cereal graininess. Not what I’d expect in an IPA. Drinkable, nonetheless.
