Jan 15, 2008 Bottle. Please enjoy by: 01/27/08. A clear light-copper pour with a small light-tan head. The aroma consists of some citrusy hops along with the subtle smell of wet brown paper bags. Crisp, thin body. Pretty one-sided taste-wise - some grainy maltiness comes out as it warms a little. Finishes biscuity and dry with a lingering bitterness. Not exactly an awful IPA, there are just plenty out there that are much better.

Jan 13, 2008 bottle, from trade with a great man in the metro Cinncinati area. Good aroma, sweet, biscuity, orange, wet tea leaves. Classic clean orange copper color, great head & lacing. Bitter sour flavor. not unlike aroma though citrus went a little more grapefruity and sweetness gave way to a sour earthy taste. Thin body, lite creamy smooth mouthfeel, bitter finish. Easy to drink, pale ale / ipa. Nice little changes between aroma & flavor I thought. Man I prbably had this several years back when wife and I were in Cleveland, but my only notes are checkmarks on a manu as it was before I rated beers.

Has a mild hop and sweet malt aroma.
Light -medium body with a very smooth mouthfeel.
Nice sweet malt grainy taste here with a subtle hop essence.
Finishes with a nice mild bitterness.
Another tasty and highly drinkable pale ale, as they all should be. July 2005

Jan 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours orange/amber with a thin white head. Nice citrus aroma with some sweet malt in the background. Taste citrus, grapefruit, mango and some earthy malt. Good bitter finish, a little light on the palate. I’ve always considered this an APA. This was one of the ones that started me down this path, always a classic and finally I am rating this on National Championship day, GO BUCKS!!

Jan 4, 2008 Great Pale Ale. Borders on the pale ale scale. I know the name says pale, but the IBU’s, nose and taste all say IPA. One of my go to beers.

Dec 28, 2007 Citrus dominates the aroma. Excellent malt and hop balances. Not too over the top with hop presence. Outstanding IPA.

Dec 27, 2007 I know I was drinking an IPA. It is not a bad beer at all but there is nothing special about it. There are other more readily available IPAs in the area that are better.
