Draft at the source courtesy of erway, thank you sir! Hazy golden color, small white head. Aroma has tangerine, tropical fruits, pine. Taste has more fruit, citrus, pine. Nice malt balance, so it’s not overly aggressive. Delicious.

Excellent IPA. Very fresh. Pours a light, golden yellow, with small head. Hop aroma and very strong, bitter hop flavor, with citrus notes and a bitter finish.

GABF 2012, October 12, Friday. Very well carbonated. Light copper color. Sweet apricot aroma and flavor, but thin palate. I didn’t like this as much as their other beers I had the chance to try.

GABF 2012, October 12, Friday. Sweet and thick. Lots of brown sugar and some some caramel balanced by earthy hops. Great palate, and well-hidden alcohol.

GBBF. Very hazy amber beer, tiny pale tan head. Light dry palate. Lovely hops - a complex array of Nelson Sauvin like grapiness with red berry fruits and citrus. Very very drinkable and I can scarcely believe this EKG hopped!

Sample at GABF 10/13/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. Slightly hazy orange-amber color with a medium ivory white head and strings of lacing. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Medium-bodied with a citrusy hops character and notes of herbs and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Above average overall.
