On tap at the Spotty Dog in Hudson, NY. Clear reddish brown color with a hoppy flavor. Very smooth.

Apr 29, 2008 20070428 Tap at TAPNY. Another mostly flat beer, light brown with no head. Pretty standard brown ale but with undertones of citrus and a bit of diacetyl. A big step up from the other beers I had from Evans, but my ass remains un-kicked.

Dec 10, 2007 Tap @ the brewpub. Poured a clear amber-brown color with a beige head. Nice citrus hop aroma with some caramel underneath. The flavor had a mix of caramel and grapefruit citrus. Malty finish and semi-sweet. Light hop bitterness on the finish.

Oct 28, 2007 Cloudy dark copper to brown ale covered by a light white films. Minty and herbal in the nose. It tries to plays the hoppy card with full on American citrus aromatics and a highly bitter finish. Not so well rounded still, the malt is limited to soft toastiness and lacks richness or firmness while its combination with the hops feels like a thin spicy meal. Rather poor-bodied as well. The aroma remains its most interesting feature as the follow-up was not up to the same level.

Jul 13, 2007 Updated: Jul 20, 2007On tap at the Pump Station, 13 July 07. Appearance: definitely brown. Not one of my favourites of the visit, I believe I ranked it sixth of the seven beers I tasted. Companion and I agreed: how this won major awards was beyond our comprehension.
