Draught at Brouwer’s Café: Amber, lively carbonation, large finely bubbled head, very nice lacing. This beer looks great!
Citrus rind aroma that translates directly on the tongue. Also fairly earthy. A little astringent, but certainly more flavorful
than many that I have tried lately. Moderate malts, enough to carry this one through nut it could stand to be a bit heavier and
sweeter. Then you’d have something. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Lingering earthiness. Decent, but wished it were a
bit more floral and certainly a bit sweeter to counter act the astringency.

Aug 7, 2008 Dark gold/amber colored beer with a nice oily looking head. The aroma is of toasted caramel malts and very woody/floral/piney/citrus hops. The flavor is a grimy pine/citrus bitterness with some caramel malt and some butter which detracted a little because I really liked the hops. Seemed a little grainy and gritty and a touch rough around the edges. I did like it because of the hops.

Jul 6, 2008 Updated: Jul 9, 2008Ah yes, the "old style" IPA, where the brewers aren’t trying to outdo everyone else, say "My beer is bigger than your beer"
Orange amber,small beige head.Clean citrus nose.Nice rich malt start with lasting citrus/bitter hop finish. Perfectly balanced
A classic IPA, the way it should be

Jun 15, 2008 Cask version at WABL Fathers Day BrewFest 2008. Pours lightly hazy bright copper with a lacy white head. Tropical fruit, grapefruit and toffee nose. Sweet toffee and grapefruit taste. Nicely bitter resinous finish that seems to dragging a little butter residue along with it.
