| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 25, 2004 Bottle: Poured a light brown colored ale with a nice big head with better then average retention. You can easily feel the bitterness in the aroma. Taste is as expected, i.e. quite bitter with a side of roasted malt and subtle floral notes. I would put this one on a par with Victory Hop Devil as one of the great IPA out there. sloth (1662), Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 23, 2004 Medium sized tan head, fair retention and lace. Clear, deep copper/ light amber hued brew. Large, fresh hop nose, pine, citrus and a touch minty. Medium body, prickly carbonation. Good hop flavor, piney, grassy with a lightly sweet maltiness, notes of roast and some crystal malt also, lightly grainy with more hops to back all that malt up. Finish is dry, would like a touch more bittering though. Thanks to mrfacto for the trade! SpringsLicker (2042), Tennessee, USA

Pours a deep amber with a thick creamy head of off white that sticks to the glass.
Delicate Cascades aroma.
The flavor is just to the bitter side, but not too far away is the malt to back that up. Good body and a nice bitter finish. biermensch (64), USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 17, 2004 Pours a nice copper color, with a medium head. Smells of fruit, pine and some malt coming through. Has a nice malt balance, with the obvious hops, but not a bitter brew. Very drinkable. My favorite from New Glarus. whaleman (2171), North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 10, 2004 Clear, bright orange-amber body with mild carbonation and a tight soapy off-white head. Leathery, candied aroma of apricots and fresh hops. Musky hop flavor with a mild cheesy character. Medium sweetness is balanced by medium hop bitterness. Smooth, light resinous texture. This is a subdued, but nice IPA. Thanks to TTB. Prostman (1077), Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 5, 2004 This beer smelled very hoppy and fresh. The flavor was much the same and the finish made me wanting more. Try this as it is a great beer to be had. Suttree (2708), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 26, 2004 Clear copper, nice tan head. Big Citrus hop aroma. Hint of grapefruit up front, then a woodsy, piney resiny hop flavor. notes of smoke, toffee and toast pop up throughout. Really nice beer, I wish I had more! Thanks to Marinaro500 for this trade! aracauna (2374), Georgia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 25, 2004 Medium amber with a nice yellowish head that stuck around for a bit. Nice hoppy aroma. Toffee was the biggest malt character of both the aroma and the flavor. The hops stuck more to the bitter than to the fruity in the flavor, but it was still a nice IPA. Pleasant to drink.
