Mar 29, 2005 it’s not often you taste an IPA that has very little hop flavor, but this one was it. I was disappointed.

Nov 6, 2004 Atlanta. On tap at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery in Buckhead. I up my scores on this a bit to compensate for the fact that I already don’t like IPA’s. Really, really bitter hops that are even stronger and more "aggresive" (to quote the commercial description) than the pale ale at this brewery or many other IPA’s. The only one I’d say I disliked more was the Flying Dog IPA. Both are not that fun to drink, unless you like that kind of beer.

Aug 8, 2004 A very typical example of this style. Has nice balance, with some bitter chalky aftertaste that was highly annoying. Other than that, clean crisp and drinkable.

Jul 30, 2004 Draught at Chattanooga.
Deep amber with a good creamy head. Fruity aroma. Nice balanced palate. Not great, but better than I expected from a chain type brewpub.

Apr 20, 2004 Very nice floral/citrus aroma and flavor with hops and a strong malty backbone. This and the stout are the best from this brewer, imo.

Apr 18, 2004 Nice dark brown appearance. Nutty, hoppy flavor. Was very impressed as to how good it was and not too over powering.

Apr 7, 2004 The waitress brought it out in a pint glass from the tap. The appearance was somewhat murky brownish amber with a thin head. The aroma was hoppy and reminded me of fresh cut hay. The taste was extremely dry and quite bitter. There were hints of roasty graininess, citric tartness, and some sourness. It was light and watery in its mouthfeel and did not taste like a beer suitable for an ocean voyage halfway around the world. My overall impression was that this was a fresh crisp beer that lacked much complexity and backbone to justify the moniker of an IPA; this was more like a west coast pale ale with some generous dry hopping.

Feb 22, 2004 Nonick glass. Cookie malt and lots of cascades. Deep red body. Very cranberry taste to this one. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: cranberries?
