Nov 29, 2004 2004 version, found in Colorado: Not many notes here... The nose is spicy and piney, much like a standard IPA, the taste however is not very Christmas like. Very bitter finish, chalky and metallic feel. Good but not great, drinkable brew.

Nov 20, 2004 Okay, I just spent 15 fucking minutes writing a very well and thought out review and once again the site hung for 15 minutes and I had to hit refresh which erased my fucking review, so I’m just going to do the fucking numbers.
BTW, this is a really good IPA and worth seeking out.

Nov 13, 2004 Bottle Pours a medium amber with a thick long lasting sandy head. Lots of hops in the aroma, a bit dark and woody. Flavor is srtrong hops at first then after a moment a bold malty wood flavor takes over. Lots of full body flavor and a nice risc feel. Moderate carbonation and a crisp bitter finish.

Nov 10, 2004 2004 reserve. Pours a nice amber, perfectly transparent, with a tall white head. Tons of cascade hops in the aroma, very citrusy. Taste has just a tease of malty sweetness then it is dropkicked by the awesome power of the hop wave. Very fresh hoppy tasting, probably dryhopped. Very smooth and crisp with a dry finish.

Nov 10, 2004 pours like a moderatly dark pale ale, smells very hoppy like a IPA. Aromatic sweet Cascade hops. Tastes like a very nice, fairly strong IPA. Very frsh hop taste, fairly sweet to start then turn to a nice bitterness. Much like hopocity but not as rich and malty and not as hoppy naturally.

Nov 1, 2004 Bottle (2004) pours a slightly hazy amber, medium sized frothy white head, attractive lacing, with very little carbonation. Hops on the aroma, slightly smokey. Hop bitterness, a very subtle charred wood flavor, some pine, and also a bit of tobacco. Good body and mouthfeel. Finishes with a slight bitterness, fairly smooth too. An easy PNW favorite for the Holidays, that is if you enjoy IPAs.

Aug 17, 2004 2002 vintage---Pours a deep orange with a slight off-white head with aromas of nutmeg. spice and a little banana for good measure. Flavors of the same with a slight hop backbone. Age is somewhat noticable, but still a nice winter brew that is a change from the basic ale that is overly spiced.
