Sep 26, 2007 Draft at brewpub before my first QUAFF meeting. Woohoo! Amber color. Nice small bubble head. Middle of road sweetness. Very nicely done grapefruit hop bitterness. I think this beer is underrated, for whatever reason. Even I dropped it 0.1-0.2 to fit closer to the current ratings.

Mar 4, 2006 Draught at the brewpub: Bronze, nose of light cascades and sour malt. The flavor is similar with tart, off-kilter malts. Not good at all. Husky, sour, blech.

Jul 18, 2005 Pours amber in color with a little white head. Little bit of caramel malt and lighter on both hop aroma and flavor than expected. Not enough body, and needs more (some) dry hops.

Jun 12, 2005 Draft. Deep amber with a white head that lasted pretty long. Nice lacing for the whole glass. Aromas were a little weak, some floral and some citrus. Flavors were better, normal IPA flavors. Pretty good beer.

Sep 6, 2003 Updated: Sep 9, 2003Took out a jug from the pub: Deep amber color with a small white head. Light sweet nose. Flavor is caramel candy sweet (maybe a tad too sweet) fading to a light hop bitterness and finishing with a tart grapefruit after taste.

Mar 13, 2003 Had on tap at Callahan's on March 12, 2003
After trying a few of the other beers on tap, I figured I'd try the one I'd probably like the most, the IPA. Probably the best locally brewed beer on tap, the IPA has a nice hoppiness with a good balance of malt. The beer is a dark brown color with a fair sized head, but what surprised me (and those around me) was the amount of lacing. As I drank, there were rings on down the beer from previous IPA levels - it looked quite beautiful actually when I was done. If you're going to go with a house beer (nice and cheap both during and after happy hour), the IPA is the way to go.
