Grassy hoppy aromawith nrtes of pine and bubblegum. Very interesting. Flavor is only slightly bitter with hops but well balanced and unoffensive. Very middle of the road IPA and a good session brew as well. Body is right on target for the style, medium even carbonation. Very light lacing left behind. Overall a good IPA that I recommend highly. carboloader (319), Houston, Texas, USA

Aroma is decent flowery hops of the IPA variety. Very balanced and tasty. Some malt, but mainly a wonderfully bitter long finish. obisbeer (558), Barcelona, Spain

Huge hop nose with some roasted notes, almost nutty with some fruit aromas. Medium body, w/ roasted flavors mingling with the hops. Light and refreshing finish with palate cleansing grass like flavors. Mangino (1027), Mississippi, USA

I Pours light/medium red/brown with a small off white head. Good strong hop flavor, along with a small citrus/pine thing, and an ending "soapiness". Very full on the palate... very tasty...

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 8, 2004 As it warms the spicy hops comes through. Laces like a sticky cascade filled brew. The taste is reminiscent of SN Bigfoot because of the hefty cascade but does not have the malt heft or barley wine sweetness to balance out the abrasiveness of this hop. Nice but not great.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 7, 2004 Cloudy light brown color with nice sized tan head. Aroma is roasted barley and light citrus. Taste is caramel, malt, pine and chocolate. Dry. Silphium (2124), Haslett, Michigan, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 6, 2004 Woah- a unique IPA. This smells like cocoa puffs out of the bottle, very unusual for an IPA. Bitter hops are notable but they are of the earthy variety rather than pine/grapefruit. The body is clear dark orange/red with a thin off-white head. The body continues with the toasty biscuit flavors, indeed a hint of caramel, and not-so-intense bitter, earthy hops. This beer is hurt a bit by its watery body, yet its subtlety is one of its strengths.
