Nov 18, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 6/23/07: Pours a hazy copper orange with an airy, clingy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of fairly fresh, earthy piny English hops with a touch of floral citrus character and sweet caramel malt. Body starts fairly full and sweet with a nice earthy caramel sweetness and good floral lemony citrus hop balance before a crisp smooth bittersweet finish.

Jun 8, 2007 One of their better beers. Amber color and a creamy head from the cask pull. Hops in the aroma. Bitter, herbal hop flavor. Dry finish. Good. Light malt.

Jun 18, 2007 On cask. Copper color with a thick head. Strong aroma of grains with a little piney hops. The taste is a good mix of sweet malt, bitterness and what I think is lemongrass. Something almost chocolaty, too. Interesting and tasty.

May 21, 2007 Served on cask. Dark amber pour with a typically lovely cream head. Grapefruit and butterscotch with some chocolate mint on the nose. Unique. Seamless threads of semi-sweet chocolate accent a quieted bitter profile. The cask mellows ninety IBUs almost too easily. Several bright citrus bursts throughout within a harsh crystal framework. Easy to drink, piquing curiosity. Distinct.

Jul 17, 2007 Cask pint at the brewpub, June 24 2007. Dark, dusky caramel-bronze in color with a small, lasting smooth head....fragrant floral hops dominate the aroma, light earthy musk, a bit of black pepper....caramel and baked fruits power the sweet, somewhat sugary/syrupy body, light earthy dry hops show up late to balance things out....bitterness increases a bit (and it is welcomed) as the glass warms in the sun....smooth, cream body, lovely low natural carbonation. Good job.

Oct 4, 2007 Draft @ Brewpub: Copper color, light head and lacing. Nose of full on fresh woody, piney hops. The sweet pale malts underline it. Finishes balanced and creamy, fresh, yet musty. Good IPA. Woody!

May 24, 2007 CASK: Dark Amber Color with Off White Head. Medium Mouthfeel, Nice and Creamy. Dark Grains Aroma. Dark and Dry Grain/Wheat Flavor...Sweet Malt Foundation. Vienna Malt, to be More Precise. Not Incredibly Hoppy Until It Warms Up a Bit. Some Dry Bread Notes as Well. Nice Vienna Ale.

Jul 8, 2007 Love the cask conditioned IPA. In my area, it is a hard find. Had one before a concert at Xcel Center. It was nice hop-balanced IPA that was held up with enough malt. Because of the time of year, the temperature (52°) of a cask-conditioned prevented me from having any more.
