Tap at Churchill’s. Poured clear copper with a nice two finger head. Smell is piney hops, fresh grass and light malt. Taste is same with a weird metallic note. Hops are subdued compared to the nose. Decent IPA but expected more.

Jun 8, 2008 Taverner proves his dedication to the cause by smuggling this growler into Chuck E. Cheese’s at his sons birthday party for us to enjoy. And enjoy we did! Pour has a thick, three fingered, cream colored head with a pine and floral hop nose along with a smooth, sweet caramel malt that appropriately carried into the very smooth, well balanced flavor. A bit sweet in the front that diminishes to a dry, hoppy mid and finish. Smooth and a bit creamy on the palate Very nice.

Jun 8, 2008 Could not ask for a better IPA for my birthday! Pours clear amber with lots of frothy head. Very creamy on the palate. Flavor is dank, spicy and piney hops with a very dry malt profile. The hops carry in your mouth for quite some time, giving it a slightly bitter yet spicy finish.

May 2, 2008 On tap at Johnny Brown’s in SD, CA--Funky armpit nose with a copper amber body. Creamy, funky dank hoppiness. Quite hoppy. Not too bad.

Apr 24, 2008 On tap at O’briens. Pours with an orange-amber body topped by a medium, off-white head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet yet bitter and hoppy with a piney note and notes of grass and hay, as well as an underlying rye note. Medium bodied and smooth.
