Tap @ Murphy’s seafood & steakhouse in Boise. Clear amber/copper w off white seafoam head that fell fairly quick, good lace. Aroma is fresh hops, piney & citrusy w a touch of reefer essence & light/med roast malt. Flavor is clean, bright, fresh. Light/med roast malt w nice, fresh spicey hops. Into medium bodied w nice bitterness from start to finish. Nicely balanced. Not lacking complexity. There was a slight thin/watery on the mouthfeel but its fresh, clean flavor compensated. I could have inhaled a bucket of this.

GABF 2008. Dark amber gold (darker than the ZZ Hop), passionfruit cascade aroma. Lots of tropical fruit and citrus oil hop character, sweet malt takes a back seat. Long bitter finish, refreshing.

Growler from Ram/Parkcenter. Hazy orange color with a big off-white head. Fragrant hop aroma. Pungent bitter flavor, in a good way. Some mild malt taste, but mostly solid hoppy notes of citrus, good blend of bittering vs. flavor/aroma hops. Dry as a bone. This is a great IPA, good balance of all parts. I can’t get enough. (Too bad they raised their price for growlers, they used to charge $5, which was a steal!!)

On tap at Boise Ram Pours out a cloudy amber topped with a nice off white cream head. Great floral hop aroma. A nice sweetness and malt along with that floral hops on the tast. A little bitter at the end pretty good. IPA

Draft @ Ram. Standard, standard, standard. Nothing exciting about this IPA whatsoever, except its ease of drinkability. Extremely average. Sierra Nevada-esque.

Draft @ Meridian Ram: Pours a cloudy orange with a large beige head and thick lacing. Nose of citrus and piney hops, some sweetness. Tastes rich with the citrus hops, florals, and a nice bit of maltiness. Good, solid IPA.
