Rastacouere (5343), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Mar 9, 2006 Clearish light amber, lasting 1-inch white head. Earthy oranges dominate the nose and suggest a fair dose of centennials. Light soapy and leatherette nuances. Honest bitterness, very fruity palate (tropical mango mostly). Earthy, spicy intensity. Low malt level, but a very down-to-earth, well executed example. Light bodied, biting carbonation. CaptainCougar (4663), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jul 14, 2006 On tap at the brewpub on 4/27/06: Pours a clear copper orange with a thin-lacing wispy white head. Nice, fresh green hoppy, piney grapefruit aroma has good caramel malty balance. Starts semi-sweet with good caramel malty presence and nice, fresh hoppy balance. An enjoyable IPA. hopdog (4645), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 17, 2005 Bottle acquired in trade with Pailhead (thanks!). Brewed on 04-04-05 and best before 07-04-05. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with virtually no head. Lighter aromas of mainly flowers with some light citrus. Tastes of flowers, sweet malts and light pine. Has a medium sweet to a lighter bitter balance.
