Tap. Quite a firm IPA and not bad at all. About as hoppy as I like ’em these days and is decently balanced, a la Elissa IPA with the needle pointing a little more towards hops than maltiness. A pine-laden hiking trail in the aroma and some nice caramel and twig in addition to the usual IPA stuff in the flavor. Goodness.

May 25, 2006 On tap at the brewery. Clear dark brown with red highlights and a khaki head and lacing. The aroma has pine, citrus, caramel malt. Well balanced bitterness to go with the malt and hop flavors. Hints of pine and herb in the mix. Well made holiday beer. Good job Rick.

May 23, 2006 From Humolone Red’s growler. Medium to dark brown color, clear, medium-sized head. The aroma is nice with fresh hops, caramel and some alcohol. The flavor has a nice balance of bitterness with flavor hops (my favorite combo of hops, i.e. not all bittering). However, it gets more bitter as it warms. There is also a hint of sage but maybe that is coming from the hops? Not sure. Good beer if you are in the Texas Hill Country during the Hoildaze!
