Jan 22, 2009 copper pour with a nice white head - aroma is hops - taste is slightly hops with another flavor I can’t pin down. Reminds me of the Founders Red Rye - just not as good. Has a good flavor and is very drinkable.

Jan 22, 2009 Copper pour with a thin tan head. Bready/earthy aroma with some caramel. Very nearly full bodied. Spicy, perhaps rye as others have mentioned, flavor. There are some earthy hops. Slghtly metallic on the back end. An interesting ’sweetness’ like most of this breweries offerings. this one is pretty good.

Jan 20, 2009 Pours an orange amber color with a thin off white head. Aroma is citrus but with an undertone of something else I could not put my finger on - it almost smelled musty. Decent flavor but not nearly as clean and hoppy as most IPAs I enjoy. This one tries to be a little different I think and something was just missing for my tastes. Not a bad beer but not the best IPA I have had either.

Copper. Long, soapy head. Aroma: Earth, citris. Flavor: Earthy hops, citris. Bitter finish. Average for an IPA. Somehow, it lacks identity. Good but not the "Cats Meow".

Jan 17, 2009 330 mL. Pours a clear dark orange with a fluffy off-white head that settles down to a thin layer but leaves some very nice lacework. Aromas of rye bread, biscuity malts, English hops, some skunky citrus. Taste is rye bread with biscuit. Oily mouth coating. Long, bitter finish. This would be an excellent rye ale but is labeled as an IPA. Not even close. If this is an IPA then it is the absolute worst I have ever tasted in my life.

Jan 11, 2009 Oh, hops! Pours a somewhat cloudy copper color with very fine carbonation. Almost no head. A bitter citrusy taste with a bitter finish. Got some bite to it, too. Certainly good. Props Magic Hat.

Jan 10, 2009 Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of citrusy and resiny. Tastes resiny and bitter with a dry malty finish. Another middle of the road inoffensive IPA.

Jan 10, 2009 Draft. Amber body with light head. Smells sweet like cotton candy, citric. Flavor is cotton candy, bitter citrus, resin, slightly orange and vanilla notes, strawberries. Very sweet and fruity overall. Finish is bitter and resinous, highly carbonated. I drank it really cold and it was good, not exactly what I’d designate as an IPA, but good.
