kumite56 (461), Cordova, Tennessee, USA Apr 3, 2007 Brown ale with a nice frothy head. Nice and good malt backbone. Lots of floral hopps and ends with a nice bitter finish. kyzr (1119), Belgrade, Montana, USA Mar 30, 2007 Amber pour with big froth off white head. Nice aroma of hops, flavor is hops at first then they quickly mellow out into sweet malt. Finish is rather clean and lacking of the expected hops WeeHeavySD (2941), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Mar 26, 2007 12 oz bottle via trade with Monger, thanks James. Pours amber with a big thin fuzzy white head. Aroma has a nice hop feeling as would be expeted. Nice sweet hoppy flavor, very drinkable. Nice to rate this back to back with my fellow San Diegan Naven. Naven (864), Poway, California, USA Mar 23, 2007 Bottle from KingpinIPA. Super nice, dark amber color. Aroma is faint, but fairly hoppy. Flavor is citrus hops.
On a side note, a gnat has been flying around, bugging me for the last 15 minutes while I sit here and try to study for my licensure. Anyway, I hadn’t seen said gnat in the last 5 minutes or so ---- I just found him, dead, floating in my half full beer. Bastard. Cliff (355), Avon Lake, Ohio, USA Mar 14, 2007 Bottle, I really enjoyed this one. Poured a hazy orangish/amber with a thin head. Aromas of earthy and citrusy hops. Clean, crisp flavor, slightly sweet witha great hop presence. Medium to thick mouthfeel and a great finish. I could drink a lot of these, if only the New Glarus bastards would distribute out of their stupid cheese state. Very good beer. TheKegergator (241), California, USA Mar 13, 2007 Thanks to TIp Top for this one fine WI brew. Pours a medium amber color with red tint to it. Crystal clear. Smell is light with hops. Taste is strong, very hoppy. A little more than medium carbonation, not overwhelming though. Duellist17 (34), Pewaukee, Wisconsin, USA Mar 11, 2007 My staple IPA. A great beer for a reasonable price. Very Hoppy, quite bitter, but a decent finish. I always have room in my beer fridge for this one. tytoanderso (1382), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA Mar 8, 2007 Bottle. Pours dark orange with minimal white head. Citrus and malt on the nose. Much maltier and sweeter than I’m accustomed to in an IPA. Not too bad, though. Very approachable IPA.
