Draught. ??My notes, taken from the blackboard, talk about Fathom IPA?? Good yellow head, leaving some lace: pale orangey beer. Very grapey, dry hops, bit salty/oystershell (high DMS?), fruity end. Dry hops, less bitter than expected, orange marmalade and a pinch of quinine. Medium bodied, slick, some alcohol ’t would seem. Good, if unspectacular. If it is really a lager, then it would be spectacular indeeed.

May 9, 2008 Tap @ Hams. Pours yellow with a bright white head. Nose is light and relatively hoppy. The taste is hoppy and pretty bitter with a resin character. A bit too bitter for my palate. Also my first beer back from being sick.

May 2, 2008 On tap at the brewery. I was really into this brew. I think the ABV was around 6.5? Great piny nose with some citrus. Went down easy like every lager does.

Apr 2, 2008 On draft at Obriens; I thoght this was an IPA rather than an ESL; to me it seemed a lot more IPAish. Nose was lightly garssy hops with a little citrus accent; copper with a small off-white head; flavor had some caramel malt to balance out the hop bitterness; finish was lighly bitter. I would have liked some fruitiness rather than so much hoppiness if it is an ESL. But good anyway!
