Similar to the Hop Red, but with the obvious color differences. A hop infused golden ale with just the right balance of bitter and sweetness.

On tap at the brewery pours out a golden topped with a white head. Nose is pine solvent cleaner and citrus. Taste is more of the pine solvent with a little bread malt. Pass

Clear golden with a small white head and some lacing. Wow, a chemical mess! Bitter and chemicals throughout. I could only drink a few sips and left a full pint on the bar. This is one of my lowest rated beer, the only thing that saved it from the being the lowest is the appearance.

I listed it as an IPA, I could be wrong please send a correction if I am. On tap at Tugboat. Pours a cloudy orange color with a smallish white head. The aroma is big fruit and dry biscuit. The flavor is nearly indiscernible from the IPA; both feature a light and smooth entry with a huge bitter/chemical/vegetal finish. Unpleasant. Again, no showcase for hops, just odd.

Draft at the brewpub in October 2007. An unclear dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit, in a very harsh way, as if it hasn’t finish fermenting - very unrefined. The flavor has notes of grass and grapefruit - from lots of hops, but again with a very yeasty unfinished flavor. Almost undrikable.

Draft. Light amber beer with a low off-white head. Nice grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and pine flavor. Nice flavor, but lower hop bitterness. Not bad. Lingering hop flavor.
