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.

Aug 1, 2005 12 oz bottle from Ughsmash. Definite grassy hops in the aroma, along with a malty sweetness and I detect a bit o’ honey along with grapefruit sourness (sour in a good way). Did I mention that it’s a beautiful IPA to look at? Good head on a dark amber body. The flavor was surprisingly thin. Rather watery. What is there is some bitter and dry hops and sweetness from caramel. It goes down smooth and bitter all at the same time. It’s a good one after mowing the lawn. Thanks again, Jason!

Aug 11, 2007 Updated: Dec 6, 2008Nice looking amber pour...gives a rich appearance...light head. Floral hops on the aroma with some embedded light fruit scents. Very nice hop flavor is balanced nicely by some caramel malt flavors. This was a very enjoyable IPA...would grab again if I find it!
Update 12/5/08 - Happy 75th anniversary of the repeal of prohibition! Slight upgrade to overall impression...this beer is very well balanced and has a very clean flavor to it!

Dec 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a slight amber, off white head. Aroma is citrus, malt and hops. Flavor is more of the , though the malt notes are a little more pronounced than the hops. Nice finish, doesnt linger long on the tongue.

Jun 23, 2004 pours a bright, deep amber with a nice white head. aroma is quite hoppy-an earthy take on the typical US hop nose. flavor is hoppy, with good balancing malt. finishes very balanced between hop and malt-excellent sweet/bitter synergy.

Mar 28, 2009 My scribbled note says it had a bready aroma, bitter hops with little else. I don’t remember much more, which for me says that it was pretty unremarkable in a category that I really like.

May 21, 2006 The roasted hop aroma will get you. One of the best smelling beers ever. Deep tan body with nice rich head. Bitter, but not as bitter as expect considering all the hops. Flavor is shockingly light UNTIL swallowed. Then a burst of complex aftertaste hits the palate. The timing of the flavor and caramel notes is masterful.

Sep 22, 2008 MMmmmm hops. Aroma hops: grapefruit, citrus, pine. Caramel malt background as well. Pour is dark copper with thick, off white head. Flavor is well balanced of hops and caramel malts. Palate is bitter and mildly spicy. Very well crafted brew. I wish NG would get more recognition around the country!
