Oct 25, 2008 Tap @ The Front Door: Pours a copper golden color with a nice sticky head and nice lacing. The nose is fresh with some piney resinous hop notes and a lupulin dust like cascades. A pale malt and chewy vine note in the flavor. Bitter tail with a hoppy balanced wet hop notes with the dry. Not bad, hoppy but a little sticky and resinous.

Oct 24, 2008 Tasted on tap 10/24/2008. This APA pours a medium orange gold color. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is herbal and piney hops. A medium bodied APA. The malts are fruity and sweet, with lots of orange flavors. Hops are herbal and piney. Nice balance. Decent carbonation. Definitely has that wet hop vegetative and herbal quality to it. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Oct 24, 2008 On tap at Bailey’s taproom. Pours amber with a small white head. Hopped up nose, candy citrus hops. Strangely I got a bit of diacetyl out of this, strange for an ale, but it had that butterscotch character. None the less that wasn’t to distracting, soft body with a good balance and fresh green hop flavors throughout.

Oct 28, 2008 Draft at Malt & Vine. Pours a slightly hazy medium copper. Thin but dense creamy tan head. Nice earthy, leafy hop nose, unfortunately dominated by a heap of movie popcorn butter...huge diacetyl bomb. Gorgeous creamy medium body with nice crisp and refreshing carb. Mid-palate comes up with some biscuit and maybe crackers, then a nice burst of earthy/dry-leaf-y hop presence, all washed over by acrid stale fake butter. The finish should be all tidy and resiny with a nice cling, you can tell, but there’s so much diacetyl it gets kinda vomitous. What a shame--this one showed huge promise.

Oct 30, 2008 Aroma of fresh leafy hops. Also diacetyl and some light pale malts. Pours a golden tone with a nice lasting fluffy head. Fresh earthy hops initially followed by some bready/biscuity malts. Some butter creeps through and detracts from the pleasantly fresh hops. Crisp fresh finish. Medium carbonation, smooth, and fresh. But the butter... oh well.

Oct 26, 2008 Tap @ TFD: Yellow/golden pour, lightly hazy. Large offwhite head and good lacing. Aroma of floral and piney hops, light citrus, and a bit malty. Tastes more balanced in hops than the Rocket Dog. Citrus and floral with a light malt presence. Good.
