this is crap. there are no hops, no bitterness and it just sucks. it tastes like water. i think bud light is better than this crap cuz you expect bud light to suck

Pours a light gold with a generous white head. Light malt accompanied by some lightly perfumed hops. Fruity. Slightly sweet with some underlying bitterness as it moves towards the finish. A bit of cardboard. Needs more malt and hop complexity with just a touch more body.

Rather disappointing. Just lacks any unique character. The aroma is of a faint fruity, grapefruity, sweet, the colour is light and looks the same as any Kolsch, the flavor strikes you as a fairly bland IPA, the palate variety does little to expound on the latitude granted by an IPA brew style, the carbonation is fairly high and the finish is relatively mild. Get your IPAs elsewhere.

Popurs like flat ginger ale (other than the remarkably quick retreating pale head). Looks like flat ginger ale. Tastes watery, soapy. Slight malt presence. Hops? Donde?

Pale gold in color. This beer had a small white head that vanished rather quickly. A very light hop smell was present. The taste was rather weak in the area of hops and the aftertaste was slightly roasted. Rather lame rendition of the style.

UPDATED: APR 27, 2006 Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours dark amber with an off white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, and sweet malt. Flavor is bitter, citrus, and caramel.

Smells very hoppy but I’ve tasted many beers hoppier than this. Overall though, not a bad IPA. Nice amber color to it. Also, it has a bit of an alcohol kick at the end of each mouthful, which is odd for a 5%er.

Pours copper with a thin hite head. You can smell a faint hint of citrus and grass and taste the traces of hops, but this one is watery and bland.
