Made in honor of a local cartoonist/children’s author. Dark Amber Coloring. Lots of Hops. Found it Not to my liking...too much hops and not enough balance or smoothness.

Great fine frothy head on top of a deep golden pour. Fantastic lacing. Great looking beer! Strong general fruit aroma. Very hoppy and sharp, with the right amount of hops for me. Not too floral. Palate fades a little quickly, but seems typical of pale ales. A little yeast in the background, with malt falling behind. Nice apple finish, with a tart smack and aftertaste. A darn good American Pale if you ask me.

This was released in honor of a local artist, I believe. Dark amber color with very thin head. Powerful hop aroma grips you right off the bat. The taste is exceedingly hoppy. Not much malt balance. Very bitter. You know... I’m starting to get sick of beers with bucket loads of a single ingredient but brings nothing else to the table.
