From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center Denver 16/09/2010 As IPA White head. Hoppy aroma. Clear golden coloured hoppy and fruity with a pineapple flavour. Creamy on the palate with a dry finish.

cask. light gold with a faint haze. nose is juicy fruit/dried pineapple/bubble gum hops - crystalline sugar sweet. silky smooth texture but immediately you notice a diacetyl butter note. mild bitterness, medium- pale malt sweetness. mild peach skin and icy-hot/bengay flavor in the lingering finish, for real. strange beer, with a few things wrong with it, but I honestly didn’t drink more than a few sips since it was... what’s a word slightly less damning than repulsive?

UPDATED: APR 15, 2008 On cask at the Brewpub in Park City. Pours a cloudy orange with a thick and foamy white head. The aroma is quite hoppy, mostly a citrusy hops. The flavor is balanced between a fairly aggressive hop character and the smoothness of the malt and especially the cask character. I loved this balance. It’s subdued in ways that many IPAs are not, and I think that allows a lot of flavor to stand out.

Cask hand pumped at McCools, Layton. Small creamy white head on top of hazy amber beer. Aroma is pure hop - grapefruit and pine. Taste is similar with some small malt notes. Palate is light, flattish and slightly watery, can drink alot of these at 4%.

On cask @wasatch brewpub poured a hazy dark brown with an amber head. Aromas of grass, and pine, a very big hop nose. Flavor was grassy and piney. BIG HOP flavor. They dryhopped this one with tomahawk hops.
