Draft at Beer Run. Pours a hazy yellow color with a large creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of lemongrass, citrus, herbal hops, pale malt. The taste is pale wheat, spice, citrus, lemongrass. Medium bodied, slight lingering spice, low carbonation,.

Hazy super deep copper coloured body with some orange tints and a nice bronze highlight, all with a thick, three cenitmetre tall tan head. Aroma of bright hops, rye, sage, malt, alcohol and some tropical fruit sweetness. Medium-bodied; Strong specialty grain flavour at first with some deeply bittering hops and a pungent malt note, some lighter alcohol and sweet flavours, all finishing with a nice rye malt coupled with some good hop flavours. Aftertaste shows a good balance of hops and malt, with a kick of rye and still some airy dry herbal flavours as well. Overall, a nice rye-based IPA with a complex profile and still some good sweet notes on the end. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Giant Food in Falls Church (Skyline/Bailey’s Crossroads), Virginia on 13-February-2014 for US$1.83 sampled at home in Washington on 30-March-2014.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a cloudy orange colored body with a small one finger white head that quickly dissipated into the body. No carbonation is seen rising. No lacing is left.
The smell had the allspice and ginger up front with the pumpkin coming in behind it.
The taste balanced sweet malty pumpkin with the allspice and ginger coming in together. The aftertaste is bitter.
The palate was about a medium with nothing harsh on the tongue.
Overall, this was not a bad pumpkin being that its organic. If I was a tree-hugger, this is a pumpkin beer that I would do more often.

The appearance had a black body with a quick dissipating tan/off white less than a half finger head, lacing graces the pint glass with some rings around it with a bit of spottiness as it goes down.
The smell had hops up front, coffee coming through fairly strong in a roasty sort of way, light smokiness coming through once it starts warming.
The taste was bittersweet through the hops and coffee, some pine in the back of it, and balanced.
The palate sits about a medium with nothing harsh on the tongue, balanced, dry and bitter aftertaste and finish.
Overall, this is good for its style and great to me.

Bottle from The Lazy Dog Pours a solid dark brown with faint garnet highlights at the edges and a decent sized creamy beige head that persists for a good long time before sticking lots of lace to the sides. Aromas of roasted coffee with a hint of caramel and some light earth and citrus notes. The flavor follows the aroma to a T. Roast and light chocolate and caramel with a light earthy hop flavor. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick almost gritty mouthfeel. Virtually non existent hop aroma makes me want to call this a porter or dry stout. The flavor has some hop to it, but the beer in this bottle is either old or there aren’t enough hops in here to call this an IPA. MEH!

Bottle from The Lazy Dog Crystal clear deep golden color and a fluffy frothy white head that slowly recedes before leaving stickies everywhere. Light bready malt with hints of soapy lemony hops make up most of the aroma. The flavor follows the aroma light malt, light earthy citrus hop and little else. Light body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick almost watery mouthfeel. I don’t understand this beer. Sessionable I can see, its a lower alcohol easy to drink beer. But you used the word hop in the name and I have trouble finding any. I was hoping for something like All Day IPA or Go To IPA, but instead I got this mediocre beer.

Bottle from the Lazy Dog Pours a hazy deep straw color that makes it look like carbonated grapefruit juice. Aromas of orange and bitter citrus with a bit pf peppery Belgian yeasty bready esters. The flavor is spicy citrusy with a light spicy wheat malt flavor. Lots of bready spicy yeast phenols. Light to medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick spicy resinous mouthfeel. comes together pretty well for a WIPA although at times the bitter grapefruit to me almost feels a bit overpowering.

Drought. Dark amber with very small foamy beige head, doughy aroma, low carbonation, slightly bittewr taste. Medium finish with a little bitter aftertaste. Not very remarkable.
