BuckeyeBoy (1044), Boise, Idaho, USA Apr 11, 2008 12oz Bottle Pours out a goldish orange. Topped with an off white cream head. A light soap hop aroma. Tast of pretty good hops. Not much bitterness on this one. A little of the cardboard tast at the end. I think this is the best Henry brew I have had.
ABUSEDGOAT (1858), California, USA Jul 7, 2008 Amber colored. Aroma is light butteryness with some citric hops. Medium to light bodied, moderate to low bitterness. Pretty bland. Bier brauen (127), Bremerton, Washington, USA Jul 5, 2008 The best thing this beer has going for it is it’s appearance. It’s a nice clear golden color. The head leaves some lacing down the side of the glass. Other than that, I’d rather have a MOR lawmower lager thirst quencher. With today’s heightened beer prices, I had to give it a try. acrdz (4095), Pennsylvania, USA Jun 14, 2008 Bottle. Light and simple, as expected. Nose has a definite buttered corn note to go with clean malt and medium grassy hop presence. Brisk and grassy hops but pale and simple throughout. Lightly drying, simple but flavorful green hops, but lacks any sort of juiciness or freshness, rather it’s dried grass and pale malt. Simple, uninspired, par for the course for HW, but overall it’s drinkable and pleasent. kp (6000), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Jun 11, 2008 Name: Henry Weinhard’s IPA

BückDich (4484), Boise, Idaho, USA Jun 10, 2008 Bottle: Pours a golden color with a light white head. The nose is earthy with some light citrusy hops and a light pale malt note. The flavor is medium bodied, middle-of-the-road hops in the flavor. Fairly low key as far as west coast IPAs go.
