Jul 19, 2009 Pours copper with some stray white bubbles. Smells of sweet malt and boozy. Tastes earthy and slightly resiny.

Dec 29, 2008 Lots of sweet in this IPA. Saw it on the shelf while visiting NC and thought I would take a chance. Not munch of an aroma, but overall not a bad IPA. Decent beer. Some of these bad reviews may have received bad bottles.

Oct 19, 2008 22 oz bottle poured medium orange and cloudy. Decent hop aroma, but not noticeable what was going on. Same sour flavors as in the stout.

Aug 24, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours orange/amber with a huge, crisp white head, sticky lace. Smells of vinegar and some hay with some hops as well. I smell Brett yeast? Tastes like a lambic as well. A bit of barnyard with some subdued astringent hops, a little sour. Medium body, vibrant carbonation.

Aug 19, 2008 Large tan head, retention is good as is the lace. Clear, orange gold color. Funky nose of scented liquid dish soap, sorta perfumey, light honey notes. Body is med/light, prickly carbonation, astringent feel on the palate. Perumey hop flavors, soapy, metallic notes, light maltiness. Finish is lightly sweet, astringent, errrph. Bottle procured in a trade with oldstylecubfan i do believe? Thanks Todd!

Jul 30, 2008 Bomber. Pours hazy brass color with fizzy off-white head. The aroma is lime, orange, and candy apple. The flavor is unpleasantly grassy with some cotton and apple tastes. There’s a weird chemical sweetness toward the finish that’s really turning me off. Some pine bounces around too. Not a particularly tasty IPA.

Jul 27, 2008 Orange copper pour with a creamy white head. Sweet caramel and butterscotch flavors. Grassy hop flavor. IMHO, not a good IPA - even when we tried to compare it to more traditional UK IPAs. Strangely enough my wife, who hates hoppy beers, liked this one.

Jun 2, 2008 Bottle; a pretty attractive pour. Color of copper with a big off white head. Aroma was strange; oranges, bread, and caramel with a pronounced sour/tart component. Flavor; probably would never have guessed this was an IPA; probably would have guessed some form of amber ale. Not too hoppy in the finish. That being said, it didn’t really taste all that bad. A little bit of balance and some complexity. Decent beer, just not a great representation of the style.
