COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our IPA has lots of malt and hop character. This style originated in the 1700’s as a strong, flavorful ale, which was able to survive the ocean voyage from England to India during the British occupation.

Very good IPA. Has a very good balance. Maybe just a little too sweet. Would be nice if it was just a bit higher in alcahol.

A decent IPA, nothing special, but wouldn't reccommend it to anyone. Decent head, yet not piney enough

Bottle. Dark amber color with a laced and sticky tan head. A candy spice hop aroma with a rich flavor. The citrus morphs well with the spice and flower hops. This is good stuff.

loweredsixth (946) - Clovis, California, USA - JUN 7, 2003
Orange color with a large white creamy head. The aroma was full of hops, but not bitter...tons of sweet peaches, flowers, and pine trees. The flavor was sweet...pine, peach/apricot, slightly bitter, slightly acidic. I thought the feel was a little too wet for this kind of beer..a drier, crisper feel might have made this beer incredible. Very impressive IPA. I've never had one quite like this. Very very good.

Steib (613) - Queen Creek, Arizona, USA - MAY 21, 2003
A big fluffy white head. Pale copper color. Rich, tart nicely hopped. Very enticing beer from the label to the palate. Superb, gives Stone IPA a run for their money.

Off white head, nice lacing.Large grain aroma. Medium body. Clear amber/dark copper color. Malty IPA. More in the english style.Decent balanced finish, nice hop bitterness at the end. Seems to have some barleywine like notes about it. Interesting brew

(draft) Orange body with small beige head. Aroma is straight-on English-style floral hops, very even. Taste is floral hops, medium sweet, good malty backbone. Nice chewiness.

Andrew196 (1091) - Katy, Texas, USA - FEB 18, 2003
Typical IPA color, average head, lacey. hoppy aroma with notes of brown sugar. Not overdone...congrats! True to the style of IPA with an excellent malt/hop balanced taste preceding the mildly bitter finish.
