Nov 17, 2009 Tap @ Kahootz: Clear copper color with a white head and runny lacing. Aroma of hay, junipers and alcohol. Flavors of pine needles and grapefruit rind. A SOLID pale ale. In my top 5 for this style.

Oct 23, 2009 On tap at the 09 Fresh Hop Ale festival.
This was my first stop at the festival since Laughing dog had won 2 years in a row. It was instantly apparent that they were on track to win again. The beer was great. Huge nose, and rich hop resins. Floral but not gardeny. Big citrus. Actually balanced which was surprising concidering how big the hops were. Great beer. Go hop head Fred!

Oct 30, 2008 Aroma of fresh leafy hops. Also diacetyl and some light pale malts. Pours a golden tone with a nice lasting fluffy head. Fresh earthy hops initially followed by some bready/biscuity malts. Some butter creeps through and detracts from the pleasantly fresh hops. Crisp fresh finish. Medium carbonation, smooth, and fresh. But the butter... oh well.

Oct 28, 2008 Draft at Malt & Vine. Pours a slightly hazy medium copper. Thin but dense creamy tan head. Nice earthy, leafy hop nose, unfortunately dominated by a heap of movie popcorn butter...huge diacetyl bomb. Gorgeous creamy medium body with nice crisp and refreshing carb. Mid-palate comes up with some biscuit and maybe crackers, then a nice burst of earthy/dry-leaf-y hop presence, all washed over by acrid stale fake butter. The finish should be all tidy and resiny with a nice cling, you can tell, but there’s so much diacetyl it gets kinda vomitous. What a shame--this one showed huge promise.

Oct 26, 2008 Tap @ The Front Door Pours out a nice clear light gold topped with a nice sand head. A great fresh pine nose. Tast a nice mix of malt and pine/grass hops. A nice brew.
