hopdog (5534), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA May 27, 2005 Poured a darker amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of oranges and grapefruits. Tastes of grapefruits and pine. Bitter finish. Decent IPA but nothing about it makes it stand out. Nejhleader (924), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA May 23, 2005 Indeed hops infusion. Has too many conflcting tastes for me, but all in all isn’t that bad. OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA May 20, 2005 Pours amber and cloudy with a 1/2 inch offwhite fluffy head that lingers and laces decently. Aroma is citrus grapefruit and a little pine. Flavor is first a little malty but the hops slam home a nice bitter finish at the end. Pretty much a typical IPA. Still fun for us hopheads though. Good beer. jimhilt (1664), Bow, New Hampshire, USA May 16, 2005 Pours a one-fingered off-white head that fades slowly leaving some lace. Cloudy amber color. Hoppy/malty nose. Light carbonation and light bodied. Starts with a hop/malt mix but the hops quickly dominate and leave a lingering bitter aftertaste. $1.50 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits, Acton, Ma. Stew41 (1042), Caulfield, Australia May 15, 2005 Cloudy, bright copper - very text book. Nice thin creamy head. Sweet notes on the nose, malty, a little unexpected. Big time hop action in the palate. Packs a big finish, powerful and a hard, yet within the boundaries of the style. Minor quibble - I would have preferred a little more aromatics. A great example of what highly hopped beer is all about for the novice drinker (and this includes me). valejo (81), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA May 5, 2005 This ale possesses enjoyable bitterness, but the flavors are muddled. It’s okay for an IPA, but I like other IPA varieties better. rickgordon (3285), Göteborg, Sweden May 4, 2005 Bottled.
Hazy charneol colour. Deep, flowery aroma. Earthy, slight nutty hops plus caramel. Thorough bitterness. Crispy as well as fruity. jtw (942), farmington, Michigan, USA Apr 29, 2005 pretty typical IPA, in almost every aspect. mild hops aroma despite all the dry-hopping that is explained. dry, not very alcoholic despite 6%. good stuff and refreshing but it’s just another IPA....
