Sampler at the Redfish New Orleans Brewhouse, Boulder 12/10/2008 Very fruity pine aroma. Golden coloured very fruity and hoppy with a little bitterness and dryness in a crisp malt finish.

On tap at the brewpub on 10/14/07: Pours a transparent copper orange with a frothy, full-lacing white head. Light caramel malty sweetness has an orangy hoppy presence. Body starts pretty full with some sugary sweetness, slightly fruity estery citrus hoppiness toward a drier bittersweet finish. An ok IPA, but needs some refinement.

GABF-on tap-pours an offwhite head with copper color. Aroma is light/medium citrus hops. Taste is light/medium citrus hops with some bite, secondary medium malt. OK carbonation.

Light murky yellow. Sweet peach and candy, bubble gum hop aroma... wonderful aroma really. Cannibus-like flavor, tastes very gritty from the hops, with a grassy malt sweetness as well... leafy, musty, tingles the tongue.

Draught. Body is medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), moderately hoppy (grapefruit, resin). Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Assertively bitter (and pretty tart as well), a bit too much. A decent enough IPA but not distinctive in any way.

Draught. High creamy and lasting off-white head. Clear dark brown body. Fruity, powerful good aroma. Mild smooth bitter hops flavor with pine notes. Low carbonation and a long bitter aftertaste.
