Draught @ Headkeeper: This one pours a clear golden color. There is a pretty good sized off-white head on it. There is some lacing. It has a noce nose. Pine and citrus hops dominate. Some biscuit and earthy notes also. Taste is good. Not too bitter. Earthy, biscuity body, with a somewhat subdued pine and citrus hop bite. A nice IPA.

Appearance: Coppery orange with about one finger of creamy white head. Nice lacing on the glass.
Smell: Citrus and resiny pine; a touch of malty sweetness.
Taste: The hops immediately bite you. This is a pretty serious IPA. Grapefruit, orange, citrus, caramel, malts, with a touch of grass - what you'd expect from a good IPA.
Mouthfeel: Mild carbonation, medium body.
Overall: A very enjoyable IPA - well balanced and full of hop flavor. Overall, a well-done beer from a relatively new local brewer.

A;
Poured a 1/4 finger white head. Fades to a great lacing ring. Goldish in color.
s:
Flower, sweet...like grapefruit/ citrus..or lemon
t:
taste is almost the same as the smell. I get a good hint of hops that plays around my palate slightly that the sweet flavors push out.. For sure, citrus fruit, a honey like sweetness, and that hops.
M;
mouth feel is pretty light which is surprising for the hops. I get a slight tang on the tip of my palate which I really enjoy.
Overall:
I would love this during a humid Pittsburgh spring day. Count me in for a case of it.
