4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
This is a very good IPA. Poured a dark golden light orange color with an off white head. The taste is very balanced but I found it to be a little thinner in body than most IPA's. Still, a very good beer.

3/28/03: on cask at the smokehouse.
particularly cloudy (very evident that it was the end of the cask.) peach in color and creamy looking. heavily laced down to the last drop. aroma of douglas fir trees, dirty hops, and yeast (i swear that i also smell hints of bubble gum??) creamy tasting with lots of hops, and some orange and lemon. a real ale, served at room temp.

This is a GREAT beer for an IPA lover (or almost anyone for that matter). The only thing I slightly didn't like was the lighter color. This beer pours great, tastes great, leaves a nice head that coats the glass, and keeps you coming back for more.

Complex flavors. Very tasty. This one has made it into my top 5 all time favs. Still have not identified all the different flavors in this beer. Also need to try it as my first beer...

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Intense hops bitterness aroma...similar to many barley wines I've had...Avery Hog Heaven comes to mind. The color is a nice hazy yellow-orange with a large frothy white head. The flavor is more sweet...lots of malty goodness with an intense hops kick...grapefruit finish.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Slightly hazy orange amber beer with a big frothy white head that left impressive lacing. The aroma is of citrusy hops and underlying malt. Flavor is sweet malt on the tongue at first, followed by a potent citrusy hop flavor, and decent hop bitterness in the finish. A medium mouthfeel with medium carbonation makes for a refreshing yet substantial beer. Overall a superbly balanced and full-flavored IPA.
4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
This one pours a slightly cloudy amber color with a medium sized, lingering white head. Strong aroma of hops with touches of orange, grapefruit, and lemon that reminds me of of the way lemon poundcake with icing smells. Medium body with medium carbonation, the flavor is just what the aroma predicts, a big, hoppy, fruity tasting IPA. This beer tastes like lemon pound cake to me. Smooth and undeniably wonderful, this is one of the better balanced and better flavored IPA's I have tried. Excellent!
