Feb 18, 2008 12 oz bottle. More of a weak APA than an IPA. Poured a slightly hazy medium orange color. Head was thick, creamy, and white with good retention and lacing. Good looking beer, but the positive news ends there. The aroma was predominantly of rusty nails with a bit of sprucy hop and caramel in the background. Prickly mouth feel with carbonation on the higher end of the spectrum. Slightly sweet with mild hop bitterness of about 2-3 out of 10. The malt backbone was as frail as the hops. The flavor palate included stale sprucy hop, subdued caramel, and biscuity malt. The appearance was full tilt, but the beer pretty much capsized after that.

Jan 6, 2008 Hazy straw orange color. Bitter and medicinal up front, with some vague orange notes and a slick, bitter, wet hop flavor. Almost turning sour in the finish, and certainly acidic. Turns into something that is not very fun to drink. A 7th percentile IPA for sure.

Dec 4, 2007 Golden brown in pour and slightly cloudy with a small white head. Not much hops on the nose. More like old well water. The hop flavor in this is very mellow for an IPA. Not much flavor.

Oct 9, 2007 Notes from GTMW ’06. Aroma of dry dog food and grapefruit. Flavor is grapefruit and pinepapple, even a little orange. Moderate bitterness with light biscuity malts, and there is still a hint of the dogfood. Thin watery body with low carbonation. Meh.

Aug 1, 2007 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Flanagan’s in Appleton, Wisconsin. Pours a lclear light caramel amber brew with a thick and lumpy white head that has good retention and lacing. Aroma of slight Ivory soap, some caramel malt and plenty of citrus zest. Taste is light to medium bodied, citrus dry bitterness with some caramel flavor. Finish is slight metalic, dry caramel aftertaste with a slight bitterness that disappears quickly.
