Bottle. Amber in color with a slight white head. Light citrus aromas, but not much else. The Cascade hops are nicely balanced with some sweet caramel malt. A very sessionable beer. Just remember APA not IPA. I have seen low ratings on this for various reasons; diacetyl, metallic, sour, etc. I tasted none of the sort.

12oz bottle. Transparent yellow-tan, thin oily white head. Has an earthy bohemian feel, but also dirty and grainy. Mellow lager tones and mild noble hops, grassy and earthy. Kind of like Czech factory beer, which is better than US factory beer sometimes. Mundane and mediocre.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber orange with a large white had that dissipates slowly with nice lacing. Aroma is citrus, pine resin, and a touch of caramel. Flavor is the same, lightly sweet with a light bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. Quite nice, actually.

Tap at GTMW. Big surprise. Unfiltered brown. Big vinous ( rotten egg undertones) sour aroma and flavor. A touch more lactic, sour, and brutally unrefined than a Belgian, but damn nice too. A sour beast. Enjoyable.

Cloudy golden coloured body with a thick, two centimetre tall pitch white head with even more of a chewy, witty look - very nice. Aroma of super pungent and potent grassy, herbal, resinous and grapefruity hops, and not much else, aside from maybe a bit of candy sugar. Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence with a big floral and grassy hop kick with a relatively short grapefruit kick, given the tons of hops - but the balance is off somewhat with not much malt showing through at all. Aftertaste is nice, but simple, with just the resinous and grassy hops coming through and nothing else - no malt, no alcohol and no sugar, just hop bitterness, which is nice, just simple. Overall, a very nice and intensely hopped IPA, but the complexity doesn’t ever start and the other flavours are no where to be found. Definitely worth trying if you can get it and like IPAs, but sadly still doesn’t compare to West Coast IPAs. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Ridgeview Liqour in Green Bay, Wisconsin on 29-July-2012 for US$1.89 sampled at home in Washington on 04-September-2012 a few hours before leaving again for Milwaukee.

Purchased at Breeze Thru Wine & Spirits in Milwaukee, WI; enjoyed on a night where I was supposed to have 2 fantasy football drafts and I ended up having 0. Appearance is a dark, murky, slightly sludgy brown with a very thin white rim. Aroma of rich, sweet caramel malt, a bit of plum/dark fruit, and smells a bit syrupy. Taste is pretty damn sweet and syrupy, the dark fruit notes come out a bit more, as well as a bit of toffee. Not bad stuff, I’m into it.

Draft at the Players Bar in Madison. Orange brown. Deep sticky malt tones, a pinch off, but maybe leaning towards a Bock? Buttery, off. Amateur lagering. Amber richness, no hop balance. Could be the lines are off in high class establishment as well. Either way, unstellar beer.

On tap at Old Fashioned. Hazy unfiltered orange-yellow. Thin, oily head. While i appreciate the experiment, this isn’t really a winner. Simplistic golden malt backbone with a ginger-lemon balance. Medium bodied. The lemongrass comes off as artificial, doesn’t merge so well. Drinkable, not off, just kinda half-ass.

Thanks to GhostFace for this one. 12oz bottle pours a nice hop hazed deep gold with copper hues and semi loose white head of foam. The aroma has a nice grapefruit hoppy goodness with some lime peel and hop resin creating added depth as well as faint malts in the background. Yum, the taste is full of grapefruit and some tangelo citrus hop flavor notes and then moving into more and more citrus hop bitterness. I’m really liking this. Rich bitter delicious. Nice one!
