Not a bad beer by any means just little stood out compared to other IPAs. Moderately hoppy nose and flavor, but with nothing outstanding or remarkable to really comment on. Your average IPA is basically what this is.

UPDATED: JUN 27, 2006 This one came to me in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright caramel color with a very creamy medium sized yellowish head. The aroma is strong with grapefruity hops. There is a strong grapefruit flavor with light sweet malts underneath. The balance is not too bad but the hops really dominate. Still not as good as the Double Barrell.

UPDATED: AUG 19, 2011 Medium gold and orange. Light hop nose, woody, nutty, buttery, fresh earthy hops. Solid bitterness, a good IPA.

Firestone had a pretty good take on a pale ale. Unfortunately this is supposed to be an INDIA pale ale. Pretty weak flavor and aroma for an IPA. Tasted side by side with the pale ale and I couldn't tell the difference.

Tap @ Bistro 6th Annual IPA Festival (August 9, 2003). Clear amber color with a smooth bitter sweet fruity flavor. Dry finish with a hop aftertaste.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Medium orange color. Large white foamy head. Aroma is grapefruity and floral. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are nutty and slightly sweet. Hops are grapefruity and piney. A nicely balanced IPA. Slightly more fruity than bitter. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Reddish golden ale, like many American IPAs. I am planning to be pleased. Nose speaks of hops and malt. Mouth like an ale. This is a good, hoppy malty beer with a good bitter finish. Citrus American bite, not to the levels I have come to expect from an IPA. Pleasant and easy to drink.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Hoppy, fruity aroma. Very nice malt flavor--graprefruit, coriander, somewhat spicy, nice balace of hops. Quite smooth. A surprisingly complex IPA.
