Clear golden with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit with some orange. Taste is strong grapefruit, fairly bitter -- straightforward bite. Minimal carbonation, chewy medium body. Nice interpretation of a West Coast PA.

on tap-pours a retaining off white head and hazy yellow/gold color. Aroma is nice citrus/pine hops. Taste is nice citrus/pine hops-some bitter, faint medium malt-some sweet. Semi-dry finish. OK carbonation.

CaptainCougar (6746) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - APR 25, 2006
Pours a clear pale golden with a frothy, nicely-lacing white head. Earthy, lightly bitter hoppy aroma has some pale malt presence. Grainy semi-sweet flavor has some mild floral bitterness before a dry bittersweet finish. Doesn’t have that big fresh hop presence and malty balance I like in IPAs.

Sammy (5881) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 10, 2006
The best beer in their lineup, I think the only one to have. Aroma has hop in ity. Nicely hopped and fruity. Hoppy carbonation, tast e the spruce and leaf in the finish. Not too malted down, but also not an IPA either.

goldtwins (4320) - Nesconset, New York, USA - APR 5, 2006
Draft @ downtown location. Poured a clear golden color with a thin off-white head. The aroma had a light fruitiness and light hop. The aroma while fruity did not have much sweetness. Light fruity malt flavor but this was very short leading to some bitterness.

TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 19. This draft brew was enjoyed at the brewery in Atlanta Georgia. We had this brew with dinner. It was described as a West Coast IPA. It poured a small head of fine to very large sized ,mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a fair lace and a uncarbonated transparent light orange colored body. The aroma was very hoppy and it had a medium hoppy flavor. The mouthfeel was smooth at the start, hoppy and finished with a slightly bitter ending

On tap at their Buford, Ga, location. Light copper pour with a white spongy head, enticing grassy, floral aroma. Grapefruity flavor, some mellow nuttiness, nice stickiness. All around a damn good brewpub PA.
