@Ginger Man-on tap-pours an off white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is earthy/pine hops, secondary medium malt. Taste is earthy/pine/then herbal/then tannin-hops, some malt. Dry bitterness. Not quite to my taste.

Draft at Royersford...copper small off-white head...mild citrus aroma...medium carbonation....distinct lemon/grapefruit peel finish--bitter....one dimensional flavor profile, yet good...citrusy grapefruit taste, some malts but they are defiantly blanketed... I like it

On tap - Capone’s - May 2008. Why oh why did I order this? I’m not a fan of the woody and at time astringent flavor of fuggles. Not sure why I thought this would be any different. Crisp and dry with all fuggle flavor.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at Phoenixville BrewPub: Aroma of hops and some citrus. Pretty faint. Poured amber in color with a small, creamy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet and medium bitter. Tastes of fruit, Fuggles, citrus, and celery. Medium body. Slightly sticky, then chalky texture. Average carbonation. Dry finish. Good, but not great.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Fruity, herbal and earthy aromas with hints of citrus but nothing close to the citrus in PNW hops. Flavor is herbal and fruity and fairly clean. Good finish.

Draft at the brewery for the IPA Project. Finfing out the fuggle hops aren’t my thing. It was good for the style and had a slight bitter flavor. It’s just not favorite hop.

Tap at SF IPA event. Clear orange, tan head. Hoppy aroma. Mostly hop flavor and bitterness. No real malt backbone. This did not really stand out, but there is nothing really wrong with it other than it may have been too cold to get the malt character...
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap. Clear amber in color with dense off-white head. Barely an aroma--a bit fruity. Very hoppy and dry. A bit darker than the others in taste.
