Apr 20, 2008 Not a terrible IPA, but not the great example of the style I have ever tried. It’s solid and well balanced, but could be a little bigger in some areas. I love the strong malt background, fresh citrusy hoppiness. Pretty drinkable overall.

Apr 17, 2008 Sweet caramel resiny nose, some grapefruit spice. Copper with a frothy thick head. Rich sweet malt, hops progresses through the bitterness and aromas nicely. Full body, has a long smooth finish that cuts through. Really solid IPA.

Apr 13, 2008 Aroma hits you strong before anything else. Lots of barley - you can smell it from far away. Hop head heaven. Too bitter for me, but a strong representation for the style.

Apr 11, 2008 on tap at the Iron Horse Brew Pub in Missoula, Montana. A solid IPA... deep golden / amber color with a 1/4" head. Crisp with an average level of hops. Citrusy on the nose and slightly bitter through the finish. Overall, it could be a bit more aggressive, but that is my personal love of hops coming through. For the average IPA, it is one of the best.

Apr 10, 2008 2008 Bottle - Citrus and pine aroma, tastes of grains, yeast and hop flowers, very bitter on the end, decent but not great, kinda one dimensional...

Apr 4, 2008 12oz bottle. Deep orange color, white rocky head. Pleasant florals and citrus hop aromas. Flavor of bread, caramel, malt. Very well balanced. Hoppy IPA. Good long lasting bitterness. Great hop flavors. A chewier hopped version of Scape Goat. I love those Simcoes!

Mar 16, 2008 Appearance: Pours a lightly hazy, amber body with a short-lived, skimpy white head.
Smell: Piney, citrus hop scent with some pale malts floating around in there.
Taste: Pale malts, though no real sweetness. Instead, we jump right into the pine, citrus hop flavors with a medium bitterness. Lightly bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A decent, well-balanced IPA.
