checkmatei1 (244), Willow Grove, USA May 5, 2008 Bottle: This was just an ordinary IPA. Nothing special here. Smelled like hops, tasted like hops, burnt my mouth with the hops. It was overly bitter. Overall, just OK.
acrdz (4302), Boulder, Colorado, USA Jul 27, 2008 Draft @ the brewery. golden brown color. Bad diacetyl and burnt peanut/almond in the nose. Smells like body odor as well, and some cheesy sour cream yeast. Disgusting smelling beer, what the fuck? There’s some light prickly hop bitterness on the tongue, even some fruity notes from the hops, but mostly it’s just a raunchy flavor of burnt toast and burnt nuts, more cheesy yeast (less than in the nose, thankfully), and some muddled, messy green hop notes. Medium to light body - everything that could go wrong in IPA went wrong in this one. DandyWolfFloyd (233), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 1, 2008 Overall this is not bad, but IPA wise this is pretty ordinary, more leaning towards boring. It’s aroma is pleasant, obvious hops. It’s appearance is clean gold, with a nice carbonation. It’s flavor is hoppy, but bordering on bitter for no reason. It’s not one I’d pound, but I will have another. It’s the redeemer of the variety pack. Their schwarzbier is about as good. bigrond (860), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 28, 2008 I thought this was a real good IPA. ’Super’ hops flavor with a long dry finish. a very nice easy drinking beer. grandet (306), Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 24, 2007 5oz sample. Nice amber color with an off white head. Aromoa of hops and some sweet malt. Taste is quite piney with some citrus fravor in the background.
