Draft sampler at Barleys Smokehouse (Ale House #2). Amber color, aroma feaures pine and grapefruit notes and is sweet overall, the flavor a tasty hop/malt combo--kind of like how Moerlien OTR Ale would taste if you dropped the intense malt presence a notch and upped the hops a couple of nothces. Very good brew.

Jun 18, 2008 Draft from Cask. Light golden to yellow in color. Had a Rocky white head. Wonderful hop aroma. Definitely balanced to the hoppy side, but not harsh. Smooth and easy to drink.

May 16, 2008 In short: A refreshing smooth fruity IPA. Soft (too soft) but quite refreshing
How: Tap at brewpub (SmokeHouse location, AleHouse #2)
The look: Cloudy dark yellow body with a small white head
In long: Smooth and juicy beer with citrus fruits, breakfast apple and orange juice flavours. Caramel well integrated with a fruity flavours. Well malted and filling beer. Bitterness is somewhat mild but very juicy flavourful. Very soft carbonation but not more so than average cask beer. Cask condition was appropriate for this soft refreshing beer. That’s not another over-the-top extreme American IPA. I drank my pint in about 5 minutes so this either means that it is a good session beer or I’m a drunk… or both. Ok, both.

Nov 5, 2007 Draft at Smokehouse. Poured hazy copper color with a moderate fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Heavy sour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with slick texture. Heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good drinkable brew.

Oct 22, 2007 draft at brewpub.....appearance: cloudy light orange-brown, fluffy off-white head....aroma: highly citrus, very crisp on the pineyness.....taste: heavily astingent in terms of pine bitterness that pierces through everything. some light citrus notes. very little to no malt presence at all. this came off of a freshly tapped keg. just way too bitter for me to enjoy.
