Dec 16, 2007 Bottle. Pours a light orange with voluminous head. Aroma is very hoppy... soap and pine. Taste is smooth, almost with a tropical fruit vibe going on. For an IPA, I’d like to be bludgeoned across the palate a tad more, but this is a good beer.

Dec 15, 2007 This is a surprisingly smooth IPA. Very drinkable and enjoyable. The finish is smooth and doesn’t overwhelm you with hops but they are still present.

Dec 13, 2007 On tap at Nicholson’s in Cincinnati. This was a nice example of a classic IPA. Malts and floral hops. Some grassy notes. Decent, but I’ve been into the extreme IPAs.

Dec 11, 2007 Bottle. Appearance is an eye-pleasing mixture of amber and orange. Forward aroma features tantalizing citrus salad with pineapple, good caramel malt and hints of wood/hop. Palate and flavour aren’t as powerful as the aroma, and this works to its benefit, allowing you to savour the mouth-pleasing dry grip and enjoy the fruit/bitter flavour contrast. Good length. A touch more malt flavour would help balance things out but this is still a well-made brew.

Dec 11, 2007 50 cl. bottle. Clear amber with a really nice, lasting creamy head. Sweet aroma, peaches, apricots, flowery, very slightly citrus. Not that expected bitterness even in mouth, dominated by sweetness, leading to a dry & a bit rough bitter ending.

Dec 10, 2007 500ml bottle, 6.1% a/v
Pours a darker golden colour with a generous white head. The nose is mostly of hops, citrus hops mainly. The taste is bitter, but not hops bitter, and very dry. A very interesting taste with a mildly sweet hop aftertaste.

Dec 9, 2007 500 mL bottle. Aroma is quite hoppy, grass and a bit of spruce. Pours clear golden. Flavour is fairly mild, bit of sourish hoppiness followed by a short bitter finish. Overall not too bad, nothing extremely special though, fairly ordinary on my books

Nov 29, 2007 Interesting beer, the combination of Cascades and Challenger along with the sweet toffee/malt make for a tasty brew. I wouldn’t call this an IPA though.
