Braudog (5028) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - JAN 15, 2013
Draft at the brewpub. Everything screams "Sierra Nevada knockoff" at first, but this earns its own kudos. Not as assertive as many American pales, this is exceptionally even keeled and easy to drink, yet still exhibiting some great American, citrusy hop components. Very good. (#4903, 1/14/2013)

Tap. Deep golden with small head. Light malt with a hoppy finish. Nice brew.

Bottle to pint (thanks tmoney99). Looks solid; a hazy orange with thin white lacing. Smells of grapefruit hops. Tastes the same with an average mouthfeel. A solid no-frills IPA.

This is a pale ale? Not in my book, but I found it pretty pleasant. Bottle. Poured orange with a thick head, laced the glass some. I thought the mouthfeel was a bit thin and the finish underwhelming. Mild hops, citrus, resin. Decent session beer, but I have many others I prefer over it.

Tmoney99 (8789) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - SEP 5, 2012
Bottle. Poured clear golden color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Solid smooth resin & citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable brew

blipp (4784) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - JUL 24, 2012
Bottle. Pours golden orange with a white head. Spicy, grassy, light citric, light sweet malts, and a hint of scallions. Not bad.

City Steam in Hartford. Very good slightly hoppier than session beer beer. As all beers here, good lacing. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Boliv (1146) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 16, 2012
On tap at the restaurant. Pours gold and orange with a thin white head. Aromas of citrus hops, maybe some dough, and grass. The flavor is weak citrus hops and grass, backed up with some sweeter caramel. Pretty average, but drinkable. [1030]

Nice great hoppy smell but there is a disconnect between the smell and the taste. Can’t quite finger it. Decent brew
