Anytime I find a new brewpub, I go straight for the IPA. This was actually not bad. Around the typical brewpub IPA quality, which, in my book, passes the test easily.

I am glad it is given in the description because on the nose and taste I knew it was heavy on one particular varity of hop, and since I dont homebrew wasnt sure what it was. Now I know the distinct aroma and flavor of cascade hops. Because that was the be and end all of this IPA, a very tasty IPA I might add.

Color: topaz gold with a creamy head. Aroma: sweet and hoppy. The IPA had a mellow start with a sharp bitter leave which gave it some nice complexities Not bad at all!

I normally do not like IPAs, but this is one I could like! Seems to be a single hop rather than being overly flowery. Great golden color with good head and lacing. Nice hop smell in the pour. I liked it! Don't miss this brewery if you are anywhere near it! Vacation 03

UPDATED: JAN 28, 2003 Bright glowing golden copper in color, clingy foamy head, nice lacing. Mild flowery aroma of hops. Smooth and mild english hops, some malt flavors, light body and very easy to drink, clean finish, very mild english IPA, medium bodied nice crisp bitterness in the finish.
