Jun 2, 2003 I was pleasantly suprised by this beer. I ahv ehad some bad experiences with Back Road, but continually give it a shot and this is why. Good color and aroma with a good amount of hops. Balanced bitterness and hop flavor and aroma. Typical floral/citrus aroma and flavor are rounded out by a medium malt profile. Nto as over the tops as some IPA's but a good shot at the style.

Dec 4, 2002 I thought this was quite good. Malty and more full-bodied than Mishawaka’s offering, which I had together with this one. Definitely nice and malty, and with a good cloudy body, perfectly carbonated.

Jun 25, 2002 Light amber/orange, and a meager head. Dirty, muddled citrus aroma, not at all or distinct. Tastes like an off batch of homebrew. A very unfocused entry in a pretty distinct category. I’ll agree that bad water may be the culprit. Yech.

Apr 16, 2002 Updated: Jun 26, 2003Not as much hops as advertised, but still a descent IPA. The water in LaPorte is so terrible, and I think that contributed to this beers lack of flavor as it got warmer. The alcohol was very present in the finish. Upon a retry, I found a fresher, more balanced ale.

Apr 15, 2002 Something tasted off about this beer. I’m guessing it was the water.

Feb 9, 2002 A decent IPA from a pretty obscure brewery. Bought this while I was in one of those, ’find me a beer I haven’t tried yet’ modes. Very hoppy, not incredibly well balanced but refreshing nonetheless.
