Tasting Notes from Fall 2000: Big, bold hops not compromised. Great finish - hoppy but not unbalanced. A delightful surprise given the others we tasted
here

Bottle. Hop is detectable a foot from the pour. Citrus hop to me. Hazy amber copper color with a fine, frothy off-white head that leaves lace, and it sticks around. As the glass approaches the nose the hop seems floral. Thin body. The first hop seems piny, then after a bit it seems floral. I only really noticed malt in the finish at first (maybe that’s why it’s thin; low malt). Repeated tastes establish malt following the initial hop. Maybe there’s some stone fruit tucked in with the malt, but so is there fruity hop here? And where did the citrus and pine go? In the finish the hop seems to come on strongly floral. Realy a nice product. Good representative of the style.

12oz bottle. Poured a deep and cloudy / muddy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, floral and earthy hops, and citrus. Tastes of citrus, floral hops, ice tea, and some caramel. Did not strike me as an IPA (maybe a British one).
