May 22, 2008 Draft. Deep, dark rust color with some hints of ruby. One finger, light tan head. Piney, bitter hops at the beginning. Slowly, big, bready malts take over. Clean, bitter finish.

May 3, 2008 tap at brewpub. Nice, smooth hop profile. More like a malty american pale. Nice, but would like more hops.

Apr 15, 2008 On tap. Pours a cloudy dark orange with a nice head. The nose has toasty caramel, wood, hints of berries. I found the citrus character to be subdued for the style. There is a solid malt flavor with a drying, wooden hop sting. Some berries and peat are noted. This is a decent, clean, English leaning IPA.
