3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Light chill hazed gold, creamy white head. Nose was front loaded with juicy grapefruit and pine, and soft touches of tangerine. The flavor is all hops, but only carries a moderate hop slap to the face. Nicely unbalanced and refreshing. Light to medium bodied, prickly carbonation, drying bitter finish. This one is a tribute to the hop without major abv implications. Great session IPA...

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.

Great Brew. The server explained to us that Kismet was a mixture between the Bare Ass Blonde and Venom. Both brews can be tasted in this excellent blend of an unannounced offering. Well mixed with the medium body of the lager and hoppy finish of an IPA. Well done!

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.

Clear gold with a head that has real lasting power. Lemony, grapefruit hops. Pretty interesting spicey hops. Very light malt. Not a bad screwup.

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.

arundel mills - they actually werent calling this an IPA at the time, but that is immediately what i thought...lots of pine in the nose, looked clear gold, fluffy white head. as soon as i drank it i became more convinced it was an IPA, the flavor and finish were what i expected.
