| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 1/5 | 15/20 | May 15, 2008 Toasty and creamy. Almost nutty and almost hairy (in the pleasing and elusive way some ales like Fort Collins Rocky Mountain IPA or GL’s Moondog or E. Ness) manage to combine their hops) It just doesn’t get pulled off and, disturbingly, some sips give me this creepy faint smell and taste of vomit. I do not recall that ever in a brew and I feel fine so it IS the brew. SDbruboy (1832), San Diego, California, USA

Pours deep hazy copper color with lots of sediment and a small beige head.

Toasty, earthy malts, with a bit of burnt caramel, some prune notes, more florals, light citrus and bitter herbs. Medium to medium-full body, minimally tingly.

A victim of over sampling. Better when unfiltered and dry-hopped. Occasionally too dry but definetly the most balanced IPA I’ve ever had. Nice malt, nice hops. walter (359), Staunton, Virginia, USA
