BruceLeroy (68), North Dakota, USA Jun 6, 2002 I was disapointed with this. It tasted very weak and watered down. Not much of a flavor to it. Some hoppiness, but not enough to get me excited. Nothing more than a bland WEAK ale. Very forgettable and I’m sorry I bought it.
RERATE:Anybody who is fooled by the label and thinks this is anything other than ordinary watered down macro beer is sadly mistaken.
specksnreds (49), USA Jul 22, 2008 Beautiful golden color, almost dazzling. Mild citrus notes in the nose. Little bitterness. Not long on the palate. Nice mouth feel, but lacked the complexity of some of the American pale ales. Good, but there are others in the style I like a lot more, and they didn’t have to travel 10k miles. PhatB420 (37), Pittsfield, Massachusetts, USA Jul 20, 2008 Quite a mild IPA, was not fulfilled by the hop presence at all, but the bottle looks nice. rustychiles (374), Mesa, Arizona, USA Jul 18, 2008 Pours a reddish copper with a soapy head that quickly fades. Aroma of hops and a surprising amount of caramel. Flavor is bitter hops, a little caramel with some earthiness. Finish is bitter hops.
bretupdegraff (12), , Indiana, USA Jul 18, 2008 1PT bottle: poured into room temp wide mug.
Clear Amber glow with a off white head. Not a very long lasting head.
Very smooth taste that starts a bit sweet with a typical hoppy bite to finish.
This is a good IPA - much better than others that I have tried.
I poured 2nd half into cold mug. Head (naturally) was much taller and stayed longer. I enjoyed this beer more in the cold glass! SuperDave70 (652), Arizona, USA Jul 17, 2008 Clear amber color with a small foamy head. Aroma of fruit, sweet malt, and a bit of hops. Flavor is much the same, starting out sweet and fruity, and adding a bit of an unoverwhelming hop bite on the finish. Nicely carbonated. Not bad.
