Apr 24, 2004 No aroma. Nice head, nice lacing. Golden/orange color. Flavor was good. Hoppy, spritey (the soda), and sweet. Easy drink, bitter dry finish. Overall Impression: Interesting flavor. Not quite bitter enough for an IPA. Good beer.

Jan 23, 2004 Deep amber w/ a lasting light tan head of small bubbles. Citrusy and lightly floral hop aromas dominate, also a little grassy; toasty malt as it warms and lightly bready, and fruitiness seems low. Overall very well balanced, but has a nice rounded bitterness in the dry finish. Hop flavor dominates as well but has a nice toasted malt and lightly caramel backbone. Aftertaste is definitely hop! The only downer is that no one hop is discernable in the flavor, but is does have a very light citrusy character. Very little fruitiness in the flavor. Fuller bodied with low carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel; alcohol is very well hidden. Overall a well made IPA; The hops are sort of muddled into a non describable flavor profile and I can't decide whether it adds or takes away from the complexity, but it's very enjoyable nonetheless.

Dec 29, 2003 From a sampler: This beer is a murky amber color with a thin off-white head. Very thin and quick lacing. The aroma is heady hops with some citrus. Very rich body with a strong hops flavor dominating the entire time. While the amount of hops is in line with the style, it seems almost chewy at times. The finish is rich and hoppy and a little fruity. Overall this beer does not compare with the true greats of the style but it is a nice effort.
