Amber coloured. Floral, hopy nose. Citrusy, big time hoppy flavour. Really bitter. A typical American style IPA, and a good one at that.

slight floral hop aroma, light ale with a touch of lingering bitterness, more of an esb than an ipa, not much character at all

(Bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of florals, fruit, and maple syrup. Nice balance of hops and malt with a hint of corriander.

Fruity aroma with a slight yeasty scent (maybe from the bottle conditioning). Crisp and bold mouthfeel; sharp and tingly. Hoppy, well-rounded flavor.

Re-Rate 05/14/02: Pours a nice clear dark amber color, generous head and lace. Nose is malt, some floral tones also noticed, front is sweet, the top light, the finish is acidic and dry, nicely hopped, quite a decent IPA, and wish it was more readily available here.

Starts with some massive hops and finishes with an enjoyable, full, and almost chewy maltiness. Hard to find an IPA with this good of a malt balance when you’ve got the massive hops upfront. A good one.

reddish-bronze color, weak head....little stamina. Very floral aroma. Taste was hoppy and peppery on the tongue. Nothing super original, but a well made WCIPA for sure!

nice IPA. bronze colr, malty slightly floral aroma. rather sweet initial taste that develops some hop character towards the finish. mellow and malty compared to most IPAs buty still a good drink.
