Thank you Derek for the Growler (I owe you one!). Poured a deep and cloudy amberish color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of pine, citrus, grapefruit peels, floral green hoppiness, and a trace of caramel. Tastes of grapefruit juice, grass, cigrus, and some caramel. Light maltiness with very nice hoppiness!

Aug 26, 2008 GTMW! Orange pour with a small white head. Juicy hop aroma. Flavor was strong citrus and grapefruit hops. Some caramel malt filled in the blank area. Very bitter finish, nice!

Aug 12, 2008 GTMW ’08. Poured a hazy copper/medium orange color. The head was light tan with a yellowish tint. The aroma was a nice balance of malty caramel and flowery hops. Medium bodied with moderate to high hop bitterness (7 out of 10) that lingered and lingered. Nice flavor profile including the likes of sprucy/citrusy hops, caramel, and toasted bread. I also picked up a hint of bacon mixed in there somewhere. Tasty.

Aug 12, 2008 Great Taste 2008. Short’s really put on a show -- they surprised me at the festival. Pours a nice mahogany color and leads into grapefruit, hay, and a nice chewiness of a good IIPA. Probably the best IIPA I had of the day, which is saying a lot. Nice work, Shorts!
