2012-08-18. Lightly hazy orange body with a modest beige heqad and lace. 3+ Interesting yeasty aroma, lightly grassy hops, very light funk quality. Flavour is similar, dryish pale malt, light yeast character, modest bitterness. Doesn’t scream IPA to me, but it is enjoyable. Average plus bodied palate. Growler, Campground Brewdown 2012

Pouring at BCTC. Talked to the brewer who made it, was made at either the Buffalo NY location, or the new one opening in Syracuse NY. I think they may have made this solely for BCTC, but it was solid enough that I’m hoping it shows up on tap at some of their locations. Pours a hazy orange amber with a thin white head. Musk, light styrofoam hops. Smooth and creamy, picks up some faint cocoa hints. Musk, malt, toast. Soft musk, light bitterness, gentle grapefruit, musk and toast. Easy, tasty, clean.
