3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at th Bowie location. I believe mine was spelled Kizmet. A dark yellow beer with a lazing dense white head. The aroma is fresh with a lot of citrus and some malt. The flavor is nicely hoppy with notes of grapefruit (Cascade?) on an OK malty background and leading to a very dry hoppy finish.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft... Clear yellow ale with a small, creamy, white head. Fruity, earthy nose with notes of grapefruit, white pepper, clementine and pineapple. Fruity, moderately bitter flavor. Light to medium-bodied and fizzy. Finishes bitter then dry. "Mistakes" are often simply "creations" with another name.

On tap at Duclaw, Bowie on 14 July 2006. Pale gold colour. Plenty of grapefruit notes throughout. Firm mouthfeel, with moderate bitterness. Quite light bodied though. A decent enough IPA, if not the biggest hitter.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draft at DuClaw in Baltimore, July 2006. Clear, medium yellow colored body, with strings of bubbles rising throughout the glass. Crisp, bubbly, peppery, lively on the tongue, but mostly from the carbonation rather than yeast and/or hops. Tinny pine wood and copper metallic twinge to the hops. A little too fizzy, like Sprite, with a mildly soapy finish.

Draught @ DuClaw Bowie
Golden yellow, nice head and lacing. Nose of light sweet malt, fruity and floral hops. The flavor is juicy, sweet and rich with hops, not quite dry hopped. Plenty of flavor hops though. Good.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft @ Bowie location, 2005 vintage. Pours a hazy, medium honey color with an orangish tinge; off-white head with fantastic, glass-coating lacing. Solid, bitter citrus hop presence remains in the aroma, but there’s also a cold metallic note in there (which dissipates after it warms). Medium-to-full, citrus-laden mouthfeel: still shows a very dense, bitter hoppiness after two years; lively carbonation and citrus acidity at the edges of the tongue, with a fizzy texture showing through after the initial hop jolt dissipates. Surprisingly hoppy and well-composed at this point, with a similar hop profile to Venom. Lengthy, dry and bitter hop finish; slightly dusty.
