kumite56 (461), Cordova, Tennessee, USA Oct 1, 2006 This beer poors a nice dark copper color toped with a froth off white mostly lasting head. Mod lacing is apparent. Aroma is moderately hoppy with a malty presence detected as well. Flavor is slightly sweet initially with a nice earthy hopp bitterness in the finish. My primary nock on this beer is that its palate is a little light for my taste hophead75 (1945), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Sep 30, 2006 GABF 06. Very drinkable IPA but one dimensional, hops were present, and the body was pretty thin. Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 9, 2006 A serviceable IPA. Plenty bitter with a medium mouthfeel. Some malt, but tilted to bitterness, with pine resin. OK with food, but with all the balanced IPAs avaialable, I would seek those out first.Nice head. bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Sep 6, 2006 not good not good at all. Poured orange color no head to speak of HUH. Aroma was WAY off sour musty ugh. Flavor was much the same missing the malty balance it needed not good at all.
blankboy (3165), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 4, 2006 Bottle courtesy of ross. Pours a very bubbly orange-amber with an average size mostly lasting off-white head. Nice sweet aroma with honey and fruit, sweet malt and very faint hops. Smells nice but where are the hops? Flavour: Wow, that’s quite bitter! I guess the hops are there all right, just not so much in the aroma. A good amount of hops backed by sweet malt and a surprising alocoholic bite -- it’s not overwhelming or anything I just didn’t realise this was 6.9% and you can taste it. Medium bodied. I would have liked a little more flavour but it’s still a pretty good IPA. y0cola (360), fremont, California, USA Aug 27, 2006 whats the deal with this guy? seems like the hops missed the train. i got a little more regular lager flavor and very little hops. it was bland, unexciting and unsexual. it quenched my thirst well though. i just expected much more from SN. still a solid brew though despite my negative tone here. OldRaspy (292), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Aug 17, 2006 On tap golden in color with a small off-white head. Aroma was a light citrus hops and a touch of sweet malt. Flavor was citrus hops with a slght bitter finish. A touch of malt could be detected in there somewhere. lunatic77 (14), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Aug 3, 2006 on tap: small pale head, strong aroma. typical IPA in appearance. very strongly bitter hops overpowered this beer and i was not a fan.
