Really nice hints of floral hops in the aroma, really aromatic.
Dark cooper, off white head. head disappeared quickley.
Pretty bitter on first impression. kinda catpee hops, which i like, but that is about the only flavor, the malts aren’t tasty at all.
Drinkability- ehh. not great. No good aftertaste.

Oct 2, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours deep copper with thin, tight khaki head. The aroma is freshly mown lawn, cotton candy, caramel, and citrus. The flavor is iced tea, grapefruit, and ample bitterness. It’s piney and herbal toward the finish. Decent, but it really needs more hop flavor (not just disembodied bitterness).

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle. Average head with off-white color. Fair lacing and amber color. Hints of caramel, wood, and heavy lime. Medium body and oily texture with bitter finish. The smell was very hoppy, the taste not so much.

Sep 26, 2008 Courtesy of GMCC2181. 12oz bottle pours a clear copper with tan head. The aroma starts with an initial grapefruit note and then moving into a region of mild pine hops and sweet to faintly roasty malts. The taste greets you with a warm embrace of moderate strength grapefruit hop bitterness. I also get a faint butterscotch note that enhances the experience. It ends with lingering grapefruit hop bitterness, mild roasty malts and faint caramel butter.

Sep 8, 2008 Firkin @ DuClaw Real Ale Festival. Called EKG due to the fact that it was the same recipe but they used East Kent Goldings to hop the cask. Medium golden color. Herbal hop aroma. Low hop bitterness with initial taste. Nice twist on the IPA.
