Mountain Sun Bird Dog Pale Ale

Draught. Head is mostly diminishing. Body is hazy dark yellow. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain), heavily hoppy (resin), lightly yeasty (dough). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Big pine sap blast of hops and not much else, which sets my teeth on edge. Sooooo not my thing, but the flavor balance is ok.

Draight at the brewery. Beer is hazy, medium caramel colored with a small, white, creamy/frothy, mostly lasting head.<P> The aroma is lightly malty with a note of toasted grain; Hoppy with heavy notes of grapefruit, moderate-to-heavy noes of resin/pine; Yeasty with a light note of bread dough, soap.<P> The flavor is heavily bitter, moderately sweet, lightly acidic with a long, moderaely bitter, lightly sweet grippy finish.<P> The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is average.

tap at brewery. hazy gold/copper pour with fresh citrus hop and caramal malt aroma. musky earthy hops on the palate. slight citrus and good malt backing. Kind of bunk. Their beers are nice but I always get a headache and feal too full afterwards. This one was disappointing and won’t get it again.
