"Ram’s Head" can. Pours a rusty orange color with a thick tan head. The nose is predominantly of oranges and orange peels with some grapefruit and pine too. Nicely medium-bodied and pretty smooth. Starts with some sweet caramel and a little citrus. Finishes with some sizable graininess along with a big bitterness that lingers quite a long time. This is very piney and sticky. Definitely as good as, if not better than, a can of Dale’s Pale Ale.

12z Can. Thanks Kara! Now this is from my notes, well into the evening! Clear amber golden hue. Mossy and alcohol in the nose. Initially, citrus, floral and spicy, the finish held a syrup and malt flavor.

From a 12oz can: Clear amber body with a light tan head. Aroma is stale hops, grains, toasted malt. Taste is hops, stale grains, dry hops, pine, light caramel. Light-medium bodied, medium carbonation.

On tap. Pours copper red with thin, foamy head. Fairly standard IPA with a decent amount of hops. A little too piney, lacking any roundness or fruitiness for balance. One of the restaurant’s best, but that’s not saying much.

This was Beer #11 at the World Beer Festival. And a solid one India Pale Ale. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this beer.

12 oz can as "Rams Head India Pale Ale". Pours a darker shade of amber with a monstrous rootbeer-float looking head. Aroma of floral hops and malty toastiness. Flavor has notes of caramel, toasted malt, grapefruit, citrus, piney (cascade probably) hops. The taste is very well-balanced; a good mix of caramel maltiness and hops. Moderately sweet, good bitterness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and a smooth texture. Overall, a very nice beer.

From a can, pours a clear, deep red with a foamy white head that lasts pretty well. Aromas of cherry, hop pellets, and malt extract. Tastes slightly hoppy to begin with, as well as some cherry, and finishes pleasantly hoppy. Really a different tasting IPA, but quite good.

on tap at brewery. pours a murky orangish-copper. frothy medium-sized head that in coloring and consistency looks like the beer is topped with egg-nog. very nice lacing around the top of the glass. yeasty aroma. tastes bitter from the beginning and hoppy. oily mouthfeel. decent.
