CaptainCougar (6746) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - APR 16, 2007
On tap at the brewpub on 12/3/06: Pours a clear copper orange with a nicely-lacing frothy white head. Aroma of piny fresh green hops and some sweet grainy caramel malt. Body starts lightly sticky sweet and showing lots of bittering grapefruity hoppy flavor drying a little toward a balanced, bittersweet finish. A decent IPA.

On tap at Taps. Pours with a clear golden body and a slow to fade white head. Aroma is fruity with citrus and papaya. Dry with a hint of table sugar. Taste is dry, grain, bitter, melon, citrus zest, and very light bodied. Dry with good carbonation.
