Pitch-perfect Pale Ale, with a monstrous herbal funky-hop insanity that is unmistakably Simcoe. Grainy, thick malt undertone sets a formidable base on which the hops go berzerk, yet the ABV stays at a sobriety-friendly level. Yeah, I was sipping it from a plastic cup, but fuck off. I know good when I taste it. Honorable mention to Hom’s Bistro Burger-- holy lord that was tasty.

Bottle thanks to blutt59. Pours with a hazed golden hued body with a small, but lasting white head. Aromas are hop forward, citrusy, spicy, resin, tangerine, and grapefruit. Light toasted malt. Flavors are equally hop forward with notes of citrus, tangerine, grapefruit and a bit of a grassy dry hop character. Lively bubbles, moderately dry, with a bit of a lasting bitterness.

Bottle shared by n8h at Slutfest 3, Richmond, VA, 4/21/12. Pours a clear copper color with a thin frothy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of herbal, salty notes, toffee, vanilla and whisky. The taste is toffee, raisin, soy, leafy hops, whisky, prunes. Medium-full bodied with some booze. Nice.
