On tap @ Toronado SF. Darkish golden color with a thin off-white head. Nice musky earthy hop character, slight tannic note, pepper. Robust floral hops on the taste with a robust lingering finish. Another impressive brew from Moonlight.

On-tap at the West County Grill in Sebastopol. Man was I happy to see this beer. Pours cloudy orange amber with a moderate, creamy, offwhite head, sheet lace. Smella very earthy hoppy with a solid malt background. Tastes nice and earthy hoppy as well as grassy hop bitter. Good malt presence in the flavor as well. Full body, good carbonation.

On tap at Flavor in Santa Rosa. Slightly hazy light orange-gold with a fine, thin, lacey white head. Top notes of light grains in the aroma followed by oranges and a touch of vegetal hops and finishing with some yeasty fermentation characteristics. Big, bright bitterness in the flavor that fills the mouth but doesn’t convey much hop flavor--mostly light grainy malt flavors with clean bitterness. Easy-drinking IPA with light, refreshing mouthfeel.

Tap @ Monk’s Kettle. Poured an almost clear copper color with a moderate sized off-white head. The aroma had a decent amount of hops. Citrus, pine and earthy notes with a caramel base. Pine and earthy hop forward flavor with a malty middle. The hops come back to finish it out. Stiff bitter finish. Semi-dry with a medium body.

On tap, 1/3/08 at The Monk’s Kettle, San Francisco. Deep golden color. Nice off-white head with good retention. Yeasty, hoppy (citrus and pine) aroma with toast malt notes and slight fruitiness. Strong bitterness up front in flavor leading into toasty malt notes with slight sweetness. Resiny, citric hop flavor. Some moderate caramel flavors from crystal malts. Slight green apple note. Moderate-high carbonation. Rich mouthfeel (almost creamy). Medium-bodied with some alcohol warmth.
