Draught at the brewery
Golden colour, cloudy and dull, with large creamy head, almost nitro; it doesn't look like anything near a NE IPA. The aroma is citrusy and buttery. Smooth mouthfeel, undercarbonated, very buttery, moderately sweet, balanced bitterness. A bit citrusy, but not juicy as it should.
Seriously compromised.

On tap at the brewery, with one of those classic rock bands on the radio. Ziggy played guitar!!!. Has an okay cloudy copper body and a few hints of foam. The aroma is all apricot and peach. Flavour is more sweet hops with vague malt hints. Medium finish. Not bad though not exciting, reminds me of a beer I wish I had found in Yellowknife.
