Draft. Black beer with a big cocoa head. Roasty aroma. Roasty flavor with chocolate, some coffee, and sweet malt. Lingering roastiness. Medium bodied. Nice balance. This could easily be a stout.

Draft. Light golden beer with a short white head. Nice spicy noble hop aroma and very fresh smelling. Lots of hops in this - it’s what you would imagine a super-hopped pils to be like. Some noble hop flavor with a kick off grassiness and some citrus. A touch of sweet malt backing. Hops linger. Nice aftertaste. Gone too fast.

Pitch black coloured body with absolutely no head. Aroma of burnt malt, some caramel and a bit of overroasted coffee. Not the best aroma around, thats for sure. Medium-bodied; Burnt malt flavour with a smoky nuance behind. Aftertaste bittered by all the flavours-no sweetness at all! Overall, great to try, but lacking in so many dimensions! I sampled this pint from draught at Toronado in San Francisco, California on the second day of 10-June-2004...our first was spent in Sydney, Australia.

Clear copper coloured body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of west-coast citrus & grapefruit hops. Decent aroma-nothing crazy though. Medium-bodied; Strong pungent hop kick of citrus & grapefruit-with a nicer malt backbone. Aftertaste bittered from the hops, a decent overall flavour. Overall, a nice IPA from the west coast!

Draft. Somewhat hazy amber beer with a very nice white head. Pine and tar flavors with a slight mustiness. Nice tingling bitterness. Malt backing, but hop flavor dominates. Pine and tar aroma. It gets a bit fruitier as it warms in both flavor and aroma.

Draft. Hazy deep amber with a thin white head. Citrus and tar aroma. The first sip hits you with a huge pine tar flavor - only later do you get a little caramel and malt. The bitterness coats the tongue and lasts a long time. Good beer, but the pine tar flavor dominates. Big hops.
