Tap - Wilmington. Pours clear copper/amber with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing.

Draft @ brewpub. Pours copper with thin, fizzy head; little lacing. Nose was hard to pickup, with notes of butter and citrus. Tastes very light, with malt and yeast flavors. Couldn’t pick up any of the hop character.

3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours copper colored from tap with a thin white head. Not much aroma. Has some slight caramel notes on the tongue with some bitterness on the finish. A big beer for 4.8% but I can’t see pulling 3 or 4 of these in a row.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
20101231 tap at Newark. Light amber color with lightly lacing small white head. Aroma is a diacetyl mess with butter galore, shortbread, and some mild orange citrus. Really disappointing. I think I had this a year ago in NJ and liked it, but maybe not. Flavor is sweet, alcohol-spicy, and medium dry at the finish. I don’t run into too many bad beers front Iron Hill, but this is one.
