 Beaver (587), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
May 11, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a medium white head that quickly goes to a thin film that leaves some lacing.
The aroma is piney peppery malts.
The flavor is sweet sugary melon, salt(?), and some bready malts followed by a good sized piney slightly resiney bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some sharp carbonation.
Overall, not as good as I had hoped. It was a solid IPA, but not too interesting and what was up with the salt?

May 10, 2009 22 oz bottle, poured into a tulip glass. Clear amber with small white ring. Aroma of resinous hops, grapefruit, pine, and honey. Taste is a bit malty and sweet, with piney bite. Medium mouthfeel, with crisp carbonation, quite quenching. Nice double IPA!

May 10, 2009 twist off 22oz... gotta love the camping friendly style!
coppery orange pour with an almost white head.
SMELLS LIKE HOPS!... piney, leafy, orange, apricot and earthy with a subtle caramel note. not a whole bunch of depth but intoxicating nonetheless.
the flavor is the same... orange pith, caramel, pine and spice with a terribly (delicious) bitter finish which lingers on the palate. it is a touch on the sweet side ... though that is oddly corrected when served on tap. bitterness, dryness and a twig like earthy character are all amplified as well fresh off the tap.
medium bodied with a texture akin to heavy cream. 9/3/8/4/17/4.0

May 10, 2009 Pours clear amber, with a medium beige head, excellent and lasting lacing. Strong aroma of pine and grapefruit, with some floral notes. Medium-thin body, smooth and velvety. Some bready and caramel flavors, but mostly a complex blend of hops, pine, grapefruit and grass. Fairly strong bitter aftertaste. Delicious.

May 9, 2009 Pours a beautiful copper into the glass with a white head. Aroma is very piney like those air fresheners that used to be ubiquitous in cabs, but in a good way! Sniffing deep beyond the hops a slightly sweet caramel malt is present. Flavor is surprisingly delicate. Intense hops for sure, but seemingly on the back end and accompanied by a nice malt backbone. Perfect level of carbonation gives this beer a nice medium bodied mouthfeel. For 3.49 a bomber this is an awesome bargain!

May 8, 2009 22 ounce bomber. Poured a nice straw color with a thin bubbly head that had nice lacing. Aroma was rich with pine notes, some citrus and a nice soap smell. Great hops flavor and a perfect balance with malt notes. Smooth, rich and it never seemed heavy. All around a a great beer.

Pailhead (2572), Allen Park, Michigan, USA
May 7, 2009 Bottle: The aroma is loaded with hops...lots of orange, apricot, and grapefruit. It pours a transparent golden-orange with a small white head. The flavor starts with lots of orange and apricot. Light-moderate sweetness in the middle followed by a well balanced grapefruit finish. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Very drinkable.
