Eye Ball of off-white head. Fruity spicy piney hops. Soggy malts and a touch soapy. Medium bodied with a nice sweet and tart dichotomy. Nice balance with a good malt character. Nice hop bitterness.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 20/20 | Oct 1, 2007 Tain Q Jesse! This one pours an amber honey color with a shallow, spattered, shortlived froth reducing to a silky canopy and a fluffy ring. Residual lacing is actually quite nice. The aroma is very mild with nuances of biscuits and no hops to speak of. It’s devoid of any citrus at all. Full nectar w/ ample residual effers that border on the creamy side. BR is a malt forward specimen yet balanced. It’s not sweet at all and only mildy hopped. The hops that do show are kinda crunchy. I like that about it. Other nuances of biscuits and leather. The finish is bittered nicely w/ a lingering hop tingling. Overall: very British and weak on the hop front but a very tastey brew all together. decaturstevo (1997), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 5, 2007 A light amber pour with almost no head but a thin white lace. A light aroma of hops and sweet malt. A bit of an off flavor that isn’t bad but not really bitter. A very sweet maltiness. Good carbonation but a tad thin. Decent but not really special. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 18, 2006 Bottle: Cloudy amber/copper pour with smaller white head. Aroma is mild, mostly just some malt and citrus hops. Taste is sweeter with lots of maltiness, some trailing hoppiness. Citrus and pine tastes are clearly present in the finish. Not a bad IPA, but more or less a middle of the road one. argo0 (6907), Washington DC, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 14, 2006 (22oz bottle) Clear amber body topped by pillowy off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, floral, light orange/grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, orange/grapefruit, some caramel/bread. Watery light-medium body. Mild for the style (arguably the designation of English style IPA makes this something other than an IPA as used on this site), and would make a nice session beer. wilkie (1191), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 14, 2006 Bottle (thanks argo0). Copper colored, medium off-white head with lacing. Earthy aroma with a good dose of floral hops. More malty than hoppy, with a decent bit of caramel and a dry finish with a grassy aftertaste. Nice beer, and does seem to find some middle ground between the American and English styles. mjg74 (1997), La Mesa, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 13, 2006 Bottled. Pours a slightly reddish golden hue. Aroma is slightly sweet with some grapefruit qualities. Somewhat thick/creamy mouthfeel. Medium bitterness with some really nice sweet/malty flavor for balance. Some lingering bitterness in the finish. Very smoothe with well balanced flavors. billk (300), Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 1/5 | 10/20 | Jul 27, 2006 Tap in Missoula. Like an amber/brown ale with some hops. Thin/watery, just pushing medium bodied. A sweet bore. Did some ass pull the wrong handle?
