Draught @ Brewpub: This one had a small, frothy white head on it. It left behind a little lacing. It poured a hazy, slightly orangish color. The aroma was somewhat lighter than expected. Slight pine, citrus and malt aroma come through the most. The taste is nicely balanced. Bitter with some malts. Some citrus, toasty and biscuit flavors come through. This one drinks real easy. Nice.

On tap at the brew pub. Cloudy amber in color with a beige head. Aroma was a sight piney hop with some malt. Flavor was light malt with bitter hops.

I’m not into IPA’s, but this was well crafted. A few friends enjoyed it. Not my cup of hops.

Draught at the brewpub. Has a dry (as in not sweet) pineapple flavor to it with good bready malt richness. Solid IPA.

Draught @ Portsmouth Brewpub. Pours amber. Aroma is pine and citrus hops, a bit sweet. Taste is sweet caramel malt up front, nice body, with a balanced but big citrus and pine hop hope character emerging.Clean but a bit resiney, bitterness lingering on the palate. Very balanced, drinkable, well crafted IPA.

22oz bottle. Pours cloudy, burnt orange with virtually no head, just some bubbles, a few specks of lace. Smells grassy with a bot of cereal malts in the background. Taste is pretty good. A mix of grassy hop flavors and caramel malt flavors. Medium body, pretty weak carbonation.

Growler. Pours a hazy light amber thin head and good lace. Aroma is herbal hops somehwat on the light side and not powerful- with some lemon citrus hints. Ligth crackery pale malt backbone, some sweetness, herbal and spicy hops with some minty hops, and a slice of orange. Smooth and ok bitterness in the finish- overall just a bit weak.

On tap at the brewpub during the KtG release: This was one of my favorite tap beers in the lineup. Really well-made and balanced with solid weight.
