Draught at Brouwer’s Café, Seattle
Cloudy amber color, small head. Nothing special in the aroma, actually some vegetables. Sweet mouthfeel, some malt and caramel flavor, quite good; less bitterness than expected, but juicy and fruity.
Nice.

Draft pour to a snifter at Beardslee. Since it is still very much triple IPA season I figured I better jump on this. I actually tried this at Hop Mob a little back, but it was towards the end of many and decided to retry for obvious reasons. Pours a reddish orange color with a thick foam head that runs consistent with their beers. Aroma is a strange vegetable like hop. Flavor is improved, with some spicy malt, big hops that linger, and a bit toasty. No hidden alcohol here. Alright triple, but far from the quality of their other IPAs.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, some resinous notes, and light biscuity notes. Flavour isn't nearly as nice, with rather astringent and tart piney hops, some wet wood, and perfume. Smells way better than it tastes. Not too good.
