does not count  Oct 4, 2009 I’m confused by this beer. It has a belgian style taste like Ommegang Saison but I don’t think that is what they were shooting for. Also the carbonation disappears quickly leaving you with a flat beer even though the lacing is nice. I’m thinking they use top notch ingredients but maybe the process is lacking.

Aug 6, 2009 Golden pour with an off white creamy head and lace. Aroma of a pine tree with lemons on it. Medium malt with a nice bitter that just continues to grow on you. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Well balanced beer of the day for me.

Aug 1, 2009 Sample at Noogfest High 5.
Poured hazy copper color with an average white frothy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate earthy hoppy aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration.
Solid drinkable brew that met my expectations.

Jun 14, 2009 On tap at the brewery 5/31/08: Pours a hazy golden bronze with a spotty-lacing white head. Fresh resiny hoppy nose with some lightly sweet toasty pale malt. Body starts fairly full and caramely sweet with a good crisp piny hoppy flavor and bitter balance before a drier bittersweet finish. A nice APA.

Jun 7, 2009 This poured a copper color with a white head. The aroma contains some caramel and citrus mainly oranges. The flavor is rather bitter with some oranges and pine showing through. I’m not a huge fan of single hop IPAs but this one worked ok. Overall not bursting with complexity but a decent IPA.
