| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 5, 2005 Bottle. Nice hopppy aroma of citrus fruits with a thick, lasting head which produced nice lacing throughout. Clear amber color. Taste is mostly on the pine side with some toased malts. Not great but enjoyable. Cornfield (4972), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 17, 2005 Not overwhelming, but a nicely hopped up, enjoyable IPA. Hazy orange in body, it sports a rocky off-whitw head that laces the glass heavily as you drink. With a mild caramel malt beneath, the aroma is predominantly grapefruit and pine hop scents. The caramel backbone supports some fine hop bitterness, and this finishes on a long, piney hop note. Very good. Schroppfy (1813), Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | 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. jtw (943), farmington, Michigan, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 7, 2005 bottle from wohlfs. at first glance (sniff?) this is a decent IPA. some citrusy pacific northwest hops and also some dusty english goldings/fuggles style hops dominate the aroma, and they also dominate the flavor. not well-balanced: strong hops and strong malt, but there’s no cooperation between the two. this is an excellent effort, just doesn’t have the potential to be anything better than good. fraternie (710), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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. Drew (2410), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 2, 2003 Lots of grapefruit and pine cone in this, but not overdone - there's a nice medium thick malt here that keeps this smooth and easy drinking. I could drink a few of these.
