Oct 31, 2004 The Bitterest Beer in America.......maybe when they first started making it...Jeff brews outstanding Ales...much, much better at Buffalo Bills Brewpub than in the bottle, which is made by Portland under contract.

Aug 20, 2007 This has got to be one of the best non-english bitters I’ve ever had. The bitterness was at a perfect location - not up front at the nose but yet not lingering in the throat. Even the person I was with who doesn’t like bitter beer surprisingly liked this one

Mar 28, 2007 I’ve had it on tap at the brewery and it’s everything everyone described - fresh - so it’s not for everyone but it’s a swirl of flavors.

Oct 5, 2001 I really wish I could find this, since the times I had it, it was great. Very unusual and rich flavor. Excellent.

Aug 7, 2005 Tasted at the 2005 Bistro IPA festival. Orange gold color, slightly hazy. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is citrus and fruity. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are grapefruit and piney. Medium bitter IPA. Nice balance. This used to be marketed as the ‘bitterest beer in America’, at a whopping 75 IBU’s my how things have changed. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Jun 14, 2006 I have no idea how old this bottle is. Tried this in celebration of a friends divorce. Pours dark brown and murky with the slightest ruby edges. Dusty malty mouthfeel. Syrupy sweet palate, with some maple brown sugar and caramel toasted notes. Rich hops and ruthless bitterness as the label implies in the finish. Held up well.

Apr 28, 2009 Solid IPA here. Plenty of good citrus and pine but well-balanced by nice sweet caramel malt. Well done.
