On tap at Casa Nueva in Athens, Ohio.

Pours a hazy golden orange color with just a bit of white head.

Nose has plenty of citrus and slight peppery bits.

Taste is medium bodied with some light caramel notes but the showcase is the hop aroma and bitterness. This is chewy. Bready characters and a nice background bitterness help pull this through. Drinks well and it would be easy to put back a few of these. The hops leave a nice resin on the tongue with some pine to follow.

Nice representation and I was glad to finally try out Weasel Boy Brewing Company

A- Pours a slightly hazy golden orange color with a nice white head. Head has pretty solid retention and left some nice layered lacing.

S- Smell is a bit peppery, piney, tropical fruits, and bready.

T- Quite a bit of hops here. A bit of spices, peppery, piney and tropical fruits. Has a nice bitterness to it.

M- Medium in body and carbonation.

O- Pretty solid IPA. I hope I cross paths with this one again.

Had this beer again this Holiday season at the brewpub. Still my favorite of their brews:

A: it pours a golden-orange color with 1 and a half fingers of whitish head. Nice lace persists.

S: Great hop presence

T: Wonderful HOPS but decent balance also.

M: nice active but not overdone carbonation.

Overall: as good as I remembered!

On tap at Weasel Boy this past weekend.

Pours a nice light orange color with a good white head and some sticky lacing as that falls down. The nose carries a bit of citrus and some light floral hops. Nothing too overpowering. The mouthfeel brings forward a great amount of bitterness, but there isn't much hop flavor to accompany it. Mostly all about the hops with just a bit of the malt in the background. Light to medium body. Quite good.

On tap at Weasel Boy on 11/27/10.

A - Hazy orange/light pumpkin-colored liquid with a creamy dollop of white foam on top that reduced to a thin patch but spun a thick web of lace around the glass.

S - Spicy, peppery nose with a dousing of pine sap, citrus notes and assertive resinous hops. Toasted bread and grainy malts bring balance to the pungent hop aroma. This IPA has quite a bit of alcohol zing in the nose. Faint catbox notes are also present.

T - Dancing Ferret has a huge hop bill for a single IPA weighing in at 6.6%. While there are traces of herbal and medicinal hops, there is also a distinct grassy bite and an underlying peppery spiciness, which gives the hop flavor incredible depth. Finishes with aggressive bitterness that is quite spicy but paired with a juicy splash of citrus fruit as well.

M - Medium bodied with a syrupy texture and moderate carbonation. Mouthfeel is actually pretty smooth overall. Finishes with dry, lingering spicy hop bitterness on the palate.

D - I liked this IPA so much that I had two pints at the brewpub and took home a growler. 'Nuff said!

Sampled at GABF on 9/18/2010. This IPA pours a medium gold color from the tap. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is grapefruity, fruity and sweet. A light to medium bodied IPA. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are grapefruity. Mild carbonation. It's a little too unbalanced, way to many hops without a lot of malt sweetness to back it up. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
