Draft @ the BP. This is one excellent brew. Citrus w/ a mild malty-sweet backbone. Excellent.

Draught. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Loads of citrus in the aroma here. It’s very clean, bright, and has strong suggestions of oranges. The flavor is actually a notch down in intensity, but still rich and certainly tasty. There is remarkable clarity in flavor without much bitterness, considering. Mostly floral and sweeter citrus character make up the flavor profile with minimal lingering sting. I didn’t find this one to be too sticky, either. Tasty quaff.

On tap at Piece. Niceley done IIPA-- tasted like proably 100% amarillo hops. I’m a little burned out on amarillo right now-- so I wasn’t overly excited about this beer. It’s well made and balanced, and not too bitter. Alcohol is 8.5%-- nothing too crazy, but never the less, it’s hidden well. Doesn’t hold a candle to 3F Dreadnaught though.

on tap at piece. pours dense amber with creamy off white head. nose is very fruity and piney hop aroma. flavor is very bitter with caramel backbone. tasty but this lacks balance in hop flavor. no alcohol noticed.

Draught 12/1/2007. Burgundy murky red, thin off white head. Strong hoppy flavor potent malts are semi sweet and dry. Full creamy palate. Hint of tootsie rolls in the malt body. Alcohol lingers as a slightly warming feeling.

Flavor and aroma incredibly hoppy. A well balanced Imperial IPA. Lots of citrus, this beer definitely grew on me. I prefer the Camel Toe over this beer, but it was still good.

This is a very well balanced double IPA. I would say this is more an imperial red. Biscuity malt and big juicy hops. This is the balance I prefer. I asked Cutler if i could get a growler of this and he told me they prefer to keep the smaller batches on tap for the regulars. He did suggest that I could buy 5 tulips and an empty growler and do what I want with them- but I didn’t want to make him an accessory to a crime. Though the crime is clearly not letting those outside a driving radius of piece regularly experience his masterful creations.
