Oct 6, 2003 Not too bad, a little different than most IPA's I've tried. Mild hop presence with smooth drinkability.

Jul 20, 2003 The typical "beery" golden colour cuts a picture like a standard, everyday mass-market beer -- slightly lighter than one would expect from a pale ale. Combine this observation with a virtual lack of carbonation and head, and the first impression’s certainly not a good one. There’s brown sugar and red cherry on the nose, but no warning sign that this brew’s overloaded with IBUs. Finally the India in the pale ale reveals itself on the palate: nice and dry, turning the tongue to sandpaper as it rubs against the roof of the mouth. Unfortunately, bitterness is present but not omnipresent, meaning Big Rock’s interpretation of the IPA style is designed more for mainstream tastes than upstream swimmers. One step above Keith’s; nothing more.

Jun 20, 2003 Golden colour nice and clean. Nice pillowy white head that didn't die. Not much in aroma slight metal in taste and aroma. Nice hoppy bitterness that hangs on the back of my tounge nice mouth feel.

May 2, 2003 Kind of a weaker IPA but still not bad. Pour is amber with a small white head. Aroma is malty and slightly floral. Flavour is malty but not that hoppy. Finish is a tad sweet.

Apr 29, 2003 Updated: May 17, 2007Poured dark amber with big lacey head. Impressively floral nose. Sweet, bountiful flavors, ripe with both malt and a bit o’ hop, very well rounded. Surprisingly good! (Re-rated from a bottle in Canada, 5/14/07: Poured with a ncie amber hue with an initial flourish of carbonation, then quieted. Maybe my olfactory senses are dulled, because I find little aroma, maybe a little crystaline malt. But this has a nice flavor ... solid tangy malt with a litle hoppy, woodsy addendum that appears as it rolls of the tongue.) Downgraded a bit from original.

Apr 29, 2003 Good malty aroma. Body is all malt with maedium bitterness. Finishes slightly sweet. Not quite an IPA, but a good malty English Pale Ale.

Mar 26, 2003 A lightly hopped, very mediocre pale ale claiming to be an IPA. Go fix the recipe and try again.
