Jun 16, 2004 Very light amber color with little aroma. Flavour is a bit malty and sweet, if I think about it long enough I can taste some hops also. Absolutely nothing IPA’ish about this beer, it’s in that grey area between micro and macro tasting.

Apr 9, 2004 Well I bought this one because Big Rock has brought back their glass promo.
on the pour,light gold/yellow,looks alot like bud/Coors/molsen etc.the head is just off white,big bubbles.malty nose,no hops...hmmm.
on taste,more like a ok lager or a very under hopped pilsner.nothing wrong with the taste if you ignore the fact it is a IPA.very inoffensive and plain.
So starts malty and just slightly sweet,the middle is neutral,the finish,tho lacking a hop flavour manages to just dry up,so I know there is some sort of hop in it.
I do not recommend this beer as a IPA.Even as a basic pale ale it is boring BUT NOT bad,just not worth talking about.

Apr 3, 2004 Light amber colour with a thin-white head. Slightly hoppy aroma, but only because I'm looking for it. Aroma is more reminiscent of a pilsener than an IPA. Maltiness is too prominent and beer is seriously underhopped. The description says that it's dry-hopped, but I don't think so. More crap from this generally crappy brewery.

Feb 24, 2004 A light copper IPA. It was much lighter in both appearance and flavor than I was expecting. Smelled like I expected, with some nice floral and malt aromas. A bit on the watery side going down, with less malt flavor than other IPA's I've had. Easy drinking, but not anything special.

Dec 26, 2003 Pretty thin ipa. Copper pour and some hops. Not bad for the style, but It's not my favourite style.

Nov 27, 2003 A very good beer from Big Rock. Makes you want to go out and try more of what that brewer has available.

Nov 2, 2003 A fairly run of the mill ipa. Light hops on the aroma and a few more in the body. Balanced is the thing, but i am not a fan of balance.

Oct 21, 2003 Bottle. Poured copper color with a small off-white head. Aroma is fairly mild, light caramel malts and citrus hops. Flavor is a little unbalanced, tartness and hops with very little malt backbone. Nice mouthfeel, medium body with creamy carbonation.
