On draft at Timberline: Pours bright yellow, small head. Aroma is very minimal, toffee. Taste is smooth with a good bitter profile throughout. Strong caramel and toffee malts. Smooth and buttery. Pretty good, not really and IPA.

Growler from brewery. Hazy copper. Faint aroma of hops. Taste is hops with some citrus. Bitter and dry. Just ok.

(Draught) Pours a hazy yellow body with a medium white head. Aroma of citrus, caramel, pine, and florals. Flavor of citrus, earth, caramel, biscuit, tropical fruit, and pine with a dry, bitter finish.

Pours a nice copper color with an off white head. Unfortunately from the tasting glass i am not getting much of the aroma. Flavor has a nice smooth bitterness that is very clean. Mouth feel is medium and smooth. Overall a great beer but i am missing on the aroma of an ipa. Maybe it is just the tasting size.

Oh yeah, feel that, my first WV rate with only like 8 yrs on RB of unsuccessfully scoring a beer brewed in this state. Poured up on tap at GABF 2012 with a pale gold body that exhibits a slight haze (hop haze I hope) body and supports a thin white head of foam. The mild aroma offers up hints of earthy to ever so slightly spicy hops and a sense of malt sweetness in the background. The taste has a mix of sweet malts and earthy to slightly spicy hops. I get a snippet of maybe pine hop resin bitterness showing up here and there. It ends pretty modest and soft on the palate with a touch of earthiness heading off into the after taste. WV just got “ticked”

Sampled on 10/11/12 at GABF Thursday Session. This India Pale ale pours a medium yellow gold color from the tap. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity, sweet and citrusy. A medium bodied India Pale Ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops citrusy and herbal. Decent carbonation. Nice balance. Medium bitterness. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Draft. Orange and grapefruit peel aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Sweet orange and moderately strong bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Solid

Draft at brew pub. Orange gold pour. Medium bitterness. Touch of a chemical flavor in the finish. Ok but the otter creek IPA here was much better

Tap. Pours clear copper with average, fizzy off-white head; short retention and decent lacing. Aroma is caramel and toasted malt, floral and grassy hops, pears, apple’s, and light pine. Flavor is balanced sweet malt, hops (light bitterness), and fruit esters; lingering hop finish. Light body, low carbonation, and medium warmth.

On draft at the brewpub and multiple times at Mountaineer Field. Poured hazy copper with thin film of head. Some splotches of lace. Sweet, caramel flavor with a dry, mildly bitter finish. Not anything special but I’ll continue to drink when I’m in town to support the craft scene.
