Clear shiny copper color with a white one-finger head that quickly settles to a thin ring of foam that leaves some decent lace.
Sweet and slightly roasty grainy impression, caramalt.
Tastes like it smells. Mostly a light roasted grain impression, bit of yeastiness and a clean herbal hop bittering finish.
Medium-heavy carbonation with a medium body. Decent IPA on the mild side with clean balanced bitterness reminiscent of some high hopped American Pale Ale or "Amber".

Oct 11, 2008 12 oz bottle: Pours deep golden with off-white head leaving some lacing. Earthy aroma with hop pungency. Moderate-bodied and well carbonated with an appropriate bitter hop flavor make it a drinkable IPA. Finish is bitter with musky, vegetal tones of tomato ragu..

Oct 1, 2008 A very easy going IPA. Hoppy enough to put it in the west coast IPA category, but not very bold. This would be a great IPA for a newbie to get their feet wet into a hoppy bitter beer.

Sep 25, 2008 Dark amber colored body with a lightly off white head. The aroma has lots of grapefruit and some wood. There is also some bread crust. The taste is somewhat bitter with grapefruit and almond shells. There is also some light iced tea in the finish. Decent, but this one lacks balls.

does not count  Sep 20, 2008 Pale copper color with frothy quickly-receding head, minimal aroma with only the thinnest threads of hoppiness, moderately aggressive hop to nose and body with lingering hop finish, smooth and quaffable but a thin profile

Sep 20, 2008 Pours a very light amber in color with a nice inch of frothy head. Smell is mostly spicy with some more spiced malts and then some bittering hops at the end. The hops in this beer are neither floral or citrusy. Just bittering and bitter. Makes the beer appear to be old, stale and or mistreated. I guess that’s the English style IPA. Nothing tastes off or infected. Just very low profile.
