Jan 22, 2005 Clear amber/orange in color with a small white head. Citrus & pine smells. Tasted apple and small hint of something else...pine perhaps? Moderatly bitter, dry finish.

Jan 17, 2005 thx to DocLock for this one. bottle, pours a cloudy amber color with virtually no head. not terribly hoppy or dry yet the presence is still there to enjoy. not a lot of carbonation here. all in all, a solid brew.

Jan 13, 2005 I couldnt identify the hops from the aroma which I thought was earthy and alittle malty. Seemed like a bitter beer that coats your tongue with bitterness but not a lot of hop aroma or flavor, both of which are important to me in a great IPA

Dec 24, 2004 12 oz bottle. Faintly hazy apricot color with a tinge of pink, medium lasting head and delicate lacing...big orange-grapefruit nose with a dollop of sugar and faint oak...solid mixture of fruitiness and bitter floral hops throughout...dries out a bit at the end, bitterness mixed with just a touch of cardboard (this could be a slightly old bottle), but not enough to really damage this very solid IPA.

Dec 21, 2004 Updated: Dec 29, 2004Surprisingly little head but what does develop lasts. Clear and nearly orange body. Lovely hoppy nose with some grapefruit. Well balanced with a nice bite. Long finish makes the tongue tingle. Nice compliment to my sharp cheddar and pepper jack grilled cheese! Take it all with a grain of salt as I’m new at this and recently kicked a cold. Plus, close-out deal made this a steal at $3.99/6 pk!

Dec 12, 2004 Updated: Jun 10, 2006When I think of an IPA, this is what I think of. Extremely well balanced, very fresh tasting, and a wonderful crisp finish. Appearance wasn’t great, no head really, but the flavor made up for it. I like this because it actually complemented my sub, while many of my favorite IPAs overshadow food.
