On tap at the bocktown. Name reminds me of the beer brewed by coastal. Brownish like root beer. Can’t smell any ill attributes. The taste has a little of that mild leather and slagg thing going on. Liked at first. However, it gets a little more astringent during the session. Decent amount of co2 for a 6 plusser. Yes, that slight astringent thing that I tasted in the fort pitt ale sets in there on the finish.

On tap at bocktown. Look, if you appreciate ipa, ignore my numbers, My taste buds are just girlie lager lovers. Terribly on styler fer sure. Yellow orangish brown. Smell is typical contemporary mild IPA BO. at first I thinks its a little fruity then the kick in the jaw comes forth. As session continues, it starts to really put its IPA foot down, right on the tongue. Yes, way too much fer me. Ruin my tongue for tasting anything fer a while.
