Oct 31, 2007 GABF 2007: Poured a clear golden color with a medium off-white head. Earthy and sweaty hop aroma with a caramel malt base. The flavor was earthy and malty with a light citrus. Light-medium body with some warmth.

Jul 22, 2007 Draft at the Brewery. Deep amber with offwhite head. Nose of bitter piney hops, grapefruit hops, and toasty malt. Flavor is malt-forward, nice and toasty, with nice bitterness throughout, and some citrus sweetness showing up in the finish. The hops were a touch soapy on the finish. Full and creamy throughout, very enjoyable. I have a hard time believing it was 9%.

Jun 18, 2007 Draught. Pours a clear copper color with a nice foamy head and good lacing. The nose has nice citrus and pine notes. The flavor has the pine and citrus with a good malt background and a good bitter bite. Nice IPA.

Nov 2, 2005 A good beer. Not as hoppy as expected. A beer one drinks for taste, not effect. Left a slightly bitter aftertaste. Great aroma.

Oct 8, 2005 Amber and a light head with small lacing. Citrus aromas along with floral and bitter hops. Caramel mixes in. Flavor is fruity. Bubblegum and citrus come out with bitter hops. Sweet malts blend well. Nice, bitter tail.

Jun 29, 2005 1/2 Gallon Growler, given to me. Pretty looking burgundy in color. Aroma reminiscent of several East Coast Double IPA’s (Wailing Wench, Big A), big malts and equal hops, with toffee, chocolate and berries, along with fat, resinous, citrusy hop cones, and a hint of plum and banana peel. Quite the intoxicating blend. Flavor is pretty equally balanced, sweet with a nice malt flavor and a nice bitterness and hop flavor. Quite rich, with a strong alcohol flavor, but fitting.

Jun 7, 2005 Draught, BJ’s, Boulder.
Head is mostly lasting.
Body is medium amber.
Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), moderately hoppy (resin).
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Medium body, velvety/creamy texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic.
Pretty typical/straightforward aroma for the style, but it’s quite nice in all other categories...well balanced, and doesn’t shred your palate like many American IPAs. Aubrey should enjoy this one.
