Aug 4, 2005 Draft a brewpub in Dayton. Introduced as a Double IPA. Dark amber color with a medium head that diminished slowly. Good strong hop and citrus aroma. Medium body. Full well balanced flavor of hops and sweet with a solid bitter finish.

Jul 31, 2005 Draft-brewey. Deep amber/red color. Decent aroma, but something that Ican’t quite describe with the flavor other than to say that it just isn’t quite right. I don’t know what it is with Thirsty Dog, but there is something with the flavor of almost all of their beers that just doesn’t agree with me. I love Double IPAs, this is/was(they have recently sold all of their brewing equipment) my local brewery, and I really wanted to like this, but it is simply mediocre.

Dec 13, 2004 Hazy red copper ale. Smells like a hoppy orange uice, with earthy notes. Hops and sweet candy with very harsh bitterness. Very dry but still well balanced. (Sept. 2004)

Nov 28, 2004 Bottled by hopsrus, thanks! Cloudy copper colour, rich head. Extreme flowery hop aroma. Sweet, richly malty and tremendously hoppy. Traces of plums, fairly soft mouthfeel.

Nov 15, 2004 On tap from the source: Strong strawberry-kiwi aroma. Dark malts with little fizzle (my nizzle) or head. Mellow hops. First sip was w/o sweetness and quite bitter, but further imbibing revealed a nice light sweetness that well complements the hops. The hops are strong but not acrid. Complex, pleasing, fun and delicious. Very dark brown with maple shallows. Spruce/fir hops that linger for 10 seconds on the palate then eases to mellowness. Smells like apple tainted weed.
