Oct 3, 2005 Barley Island makes some of the best looking/smelling beers I have ever encountered. Luckily they usually taste good as well. This beer is no exception. Very dry and hoppy with a twinge of a sour aftertaste. Good stuff.

Sep 21, 2005 I think this one is getting a bad rap. I have tried bottles repeatedly, and been to the pub. This is no SNPA, Red Seal, or Stone, but it is pretty good. Nice citrusy/floral hop aroma, good malt foundation, especially for the ABV. Nice hop flavor. Sort of a session APA - that’s a first. Maybe they’ve had QC issues judging by the other reviews, but I’ve had consistently good APA from this place.

Sep 13, 2005 Bottle acquired in trade with atpayne (thanks!). Slight gusher when I opened this one. Poured a medium and hazy amber color with a huge, huge off white head. Aromas of oranges, light pine, citrus, spices with some malts. Watery tastes of citrus, spices and caramel. Thin and watery body. I agree with Eric’s rating that the tastes were a big let down (especially compared to the aromas).

Jul 24, 2005 Poured a lightly hazy, glowing orange color with a small, off white head that left spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine, citrus, floral hops, nuts, grass, and sweet malts. Citrus fruits, pine and sweet malts, bitter grapefruit, but finishes a little metallic. Unfortunately the flavors didn’t seem to come together quite as I had hoped, making this rather disappointing.

May 22, 2005 On tap. Better than average for an IPA. Has nice blend of malty body and hops finish.

Feb 1, 2005 (22oz bottle) Hazy light amber body topped by medium light beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, strong pine, some lemon, orange. Taste is medium sweet, pine, some lemon, light melon, mint. Clean and watery light-medium body. Very drinkable, and with its relatively low ABV and well-rounded bitterness, this would make a nice session beer.

Jan 27, 2005 Good hop aroma. Now in 6 packs. One of my local favorites. A cloudy pour, with nice head.
