Draft at Fire on the Mountain. Beautiful dark amber color, lovely white head and lacing that survived an elbow jostling by another customer. Sweet and malty and lots of everything I like.

Draft @ hopworks - clear, dark copper pour with foamy white head and lacing; very malty and sweet nose with dried apples and mild sugary malts; drinks with some bite from the strength, hoppy spice leaves it quite dry with obvious bitterness; quite nice overall with a big malty finish

On tap at H.U.B. Colour... apricot-orange. Nose... citrusy hops, grain, mash. Palate... Sweet! Hops are more melded between pine and citrus then they were on the nose. Some grain and biscuit with some booze to kick off the finish.

Draft @ Green Dragon. Clear medium dark amber. Stenchy sweaty nose of oily and biscuity pils malt and some dense burnt pear scented hops. Similar flavor, oily, moderately thick, some charred pear, some caramel, some sweaty hop cones. Medium bitterness. Not bad.

Tap at Hopworks and then again at the Moon and Sixpence. Healthy amber pour with a lingering two finger white head. Nice balance in the nose between a citrus hop and a biscuity malt smell. Flavor is all over the place with some dark fruit, caramel, spices and a mild booze kick. Tasty brew, one of my favorites from HUB.

on tap at mickey fin’s. full hoppy aroma--pie, strawberry, flowers, & caramel. Medium amber with clear white head that lingers. hops taste sharper than they smell, grapefruity, emphasized by a bitter herbal flavor. light in body while full in the mouth

Tap at HUB. Poured a brilliant amber/copper in color with low head. Slight sweetness with some alcohol notes and spices. Very tasty.
