Can. An amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of hops, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, spices, malt, and caramel, leading to a quite bitter finish. The body is light.

12oz can. Murky, clearly unfiltered orange-tan-yellow. Steady thin head. Earthy APA aroma. Medium bodied, middle of the road offering. Certainly rescued by the creamy yeast tones, the malt and hop profiles are pretty bland. Light soapiness, some biscuity golden malt tones. Kind of works as an English Bitter. Not that impressive, but drinkable. 2015 and this is pretty different. Filtered for one. Grassy, dry, fairly respectable. Kind of like a Session IPA in flavor. Not so bad, not so good.

Can from Supermarket Liquors in Fort Collins, CO. Pours amber gold with a foamy off-white head. Light floral aroma. Medium body/foamy carb. Flavor is floral/citrus over light caramel. Actually tasty, and not so harshly roast malt as many APAs.

Tap at Freshcraft - something in this beer tastes like fucking seaweed - you know that earthy character you get from a sushi roll when the seaweed flavor mingles with the sesame seeds? - it tastes like that, and it is really off-putting - every beer I have from this brewer seems to have one fatal flaw, and I guess that is this beer’s - there are some nice qualities - a moderate hop bitterness is balanced quite well with a rich, nutty malt character - a bit of brown sugar and caramel - but that earthy seaweed quality is impossible to ignore - weird.

Tap at The Rackhouse - served rather cold - the first sip had an odd rubbing alcohol character to it, so I set the beer aside for a while, contemplating whether or not to drink the rest - I eventually did, and after the beer was warm, this character disappeared, but it still kind of ruined the whole experience - fairly sweet, but with a moderate tanginess to it - moderate belgian esters - some notes of melon and cane sugar - a lot of phenols that I wouldn’t quite call off, but I would call quite muddled - nothing very distinct - it tastes like a rough sketch of a belgian without any real depth - not terrible, just drink it warm.

Sample from can at the Beer ’N Rock Band tasting on 08/27/2010: This brew is a clear amber color with a thin off-white head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing. Malty aroma with hops in the background. Medium body with flavors of grainy malt and mild hops, plus some fruit. The finish is bready malt and fruit. Not very IPA-ish, average overall.

Sample from can at the Beer ’N Rock Band tasting on 08/27/2010: The beer is a hazy gold-yellow color with a thin off-white head that diminishes to a film quickly. Mild grassy hops in the nose along with some malt. Light to medium body with sweet grainy malt and grassy hops flavors. The finish is sort of crisp with a short hops aftertaste. Just average overall.
