dark yellow hazy slightly. nose of pine cone and brown sugar taste is resinous and sticky, light malt backbone and a touch of table sugar w/ frosted flakes.

Sampled at the brewpub. Golden with an off-white head. The nose is hoppy with grapefruit, pine and grass. Also, some sweetness. The taste is as hoppy with the same notes and a grainy finish, and bitterness lingering. Dry mouthfeel. This is definitely the hoppiest beer here so far.

Dégustée en fût sur place. De couleur cuivrée-orangée et légèrement voilée. Nez de houblon herbeux (incluant des notes de menthe), légèrement citrique et fruité (agrumes, traces d’abricots) aux notes florales, moyen de malt avec des notes de pain. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture légèrement huileuse. Goût moyen-amer de houblon herbeux, légèrement fruité (agrumes, notes d’abricots) aux notes citriques (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt sucrés avec des notes de pain et de biscuits puis en finale l’on retrouve une amertume de houblon plus herbeuse, moyennement asséchante et aux petites notes résineuses. Post-goût moyen-long et moyennement sec, moyen-amer de houblon herbeux, légèrement floral et fruité (zeste d’agrumes) aux notes citriques et résineuses avec des traces rôties. (17 avril 2013)

Draft @ the Brew Pub. 6 oz. snifter. Citrus hop nose. Thick full head on a bright yellow color. Nice blend of citrus and pine hops, with a decent amount of malt to balance it. After sipping this I think of the classic traditional IPA feel. Does anybody else remember a time before the whole beer world went hop bomb crazy?? This IPA reminds me of the days before crazy Imperial IPA’s. Very effective classic American IPA. Very sessionable, light pine, light citrus, light lingering bitterness.

On tap at the source. Pours a cloudy deep golden color with a smallish off white head that displays moderate retention and lace. Smell is resinous and bitter with bits of citrus and pine. Flavor is a bit harsh in its bitterness but my palette adjusts quickly. Pine resin and citrus flavors with faint bready malt. Medium body and carbonation level with a slick resinous mouthfeel. This is a decent old school style IPA. Nothing objectionable, it just feels like a harpoon IPA after you’ve been drinking nugget nectar all day.

tap at the brewpub - The brew has a good citrus hop aroma. The flavor is of sharp bitterness with a little citrus and okay backing malt. It’s medium bodied with a bitter finish. Some more complexity would be nice. Mostly it’s just bitter. Overall it’s solid though.

Draft at the brewpub. Aroma of grass and pine, taste was similar. Overall a pretty solid IPA.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear rosy amber w a near white head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma had a combination of intense pine, citrus and a sweet grain backbone. Flavor began with strong pine, but was balanced by a nice citrus note with a hint of a sweet grain backbone.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is dense peachy and grapefruity. Peachy, grapefruity and citrusy hoppy. Bitter, dry and hoppy finish. Lasting fruity impression.

on tap-pours an off white head and hazy gold color. Aroma is light pine, some grapefruit. Taste is light pine/grapefruit hops bite, some light malt.
