From Growler to pint glass – Thanks Bro!
*Notes taken on 11/17/12

A: Auld Knucker pours a clear light copper caramel color. Nice finger and a half of khaki foam head with ample stay power. Stick leaves a halo upon the glass at each sip throughout the drink.

S: Smell has a real orchard fruit character to it that is reminiscent of ripe apricot and peach. Behind that is a light caramel malt presence. Rather tame nose overall.

T: Taste confirms the aromas with a pronounced stone fruit profile. I get fresh apricot and peach with a light citrus fruit dusting and some lesser notes of earthy herbs. There is a mellow amount of actual bitterness to the palate which is nice and offers balance. Malt brings a gentle dry cracker base with a touch of caramel sweetness. Alcohol seems very well integrated as it is barely noticeable. Smooth drink but nothing incredibly impressive.

M: Light moderate body with a relatively creamy consistency. Crisp carbonation brings a nice drying lift to the finish. There is a reserved amount of hop residue.

D: This is a nice IPA. Sessionable and well crafted with some very clean flavors. Has great balance but a little forgettable for me.

A - Bronze body with a creamy, tall, off-white head. Some of the best looking lace I've ever seen! Nice retention too.

S - Sweet and fruity with just a touch of plant bitterness. Honeydew melon is loaded throughout the nose. Edges of cilantro, pine and honey.

T - Green, leafy, waxy fresh hop cone flavor. Strong, resiny bitterness through the back end. Touch of the honeydew from the nose.

M - Bright mouthfeel with lively carbonation and a medium frame.

O - This IPA has some outstanding qualities and a very fresh hop cone flavor, but the hop flavor is a little too raw and imparts a lot of rough, green plant and waxy bitter flavors.

Handsome orange amber color in the Peroni lager glass. Big foam that melts slowly to a very nice head. A fullsome mouthfeel with the right amount of carbonation. Lots of malty richness to start, but the big fragrant hoppy flavor rolls out on top. Nice piney nose.

The hops are somewhat earthy, though not offensively so. This has a tangy, fruity taste that goes well with the danker, darker, dirtier side. Plentiful malt provide some balance, but this is still more than bitter enough. A better than average IPA, to my taste. Thoroughly drinkable and on the mellow side. From the 22 oz bottle bought at Liticker's Liquor & Deli in Ocean Beach.
