Apr 21, 2008 Pours a clear golden amber with a smallish off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet orange, earthy and grassy. Flavor is earthy, orange, salty(?) and sweet malt. Long fairly dry finish. Light-medium body, low carbonation.

Apr 13, 2008 The English IPA. There is a reason Americans do it better. The English may have made the trip to India, but today they lack excitement and taste. Fine, but no cigar.

Apr 11, 2008 Poured a golden amber color with a slight head that left a nice lacing. Mildly carbonated and hoppy on the tongue. A good mouth feel and no lingering bitter aftertaste. A well rounded IPA; I would definitiely buy this again.
