Jan 4, 2005 Lacks the sustenence of the oatmeal stout. Too hoppy on smell, taste and finish. YIKES

Dec 4, 2004 Amber orange color, a slight hop aroma with a off smell of something quite unidentifiable, a very strong very tastey hop taste almost like an imperial, but an aftertaste too strong with alcohol. A good IPA with a couple of flaws

Oct 31, 2004 Updated: Sep 6, 2005Pours a hazy orange color with a decent off-white head that only visits for a while. The aroma is hoppy, mainly grapefruit with roses and an earthy undertone. It’s a tick drink without much carbonation. Surprizingly, there is a strong malt flavor, but the aforementioned bitter hop tastes take control of the taste buds. Nice lingering bitter finish, what I enjoy in an IPA. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.beeronthewall.com/> Beer on the Wall<font size=-1>

Sep 8, 2004 Tall off-white creamy head with excellent lacing. Dark gold body with some yeasties floating around. Nice rindy grapefruit aroma with hints of pine and caramel. Great hop aroma. Same with the flavor. Nothing really wrong with it.... great hop character with a good amount of caramelly sweet balance. A bit of a bitter rind and musky finish. Decently soft on the palate with a slight resiny feel. Doesn't seem like a 4.0, but its very good.... can't really take any numbers down.

Aug 15, 2004 This was a great IPA. Plenty of hops all over the place- in the nose, on the palate, after the swallow, this is what I think of when I think IPA. Decent head, deep amber color, a bit hazy. Everything is balanced just right, the hops have just enough malt and alcohol to back them up and smooth this beer out. I’ll have to keep an eye open for this one.

Aug 4, 2004 Amber gold with a light white head and sheet lacing. Floral hops. Some citrus and bittering hops in the aroma as well. Some roast and caramel. Floral and bitter flavors. Really sweet malts hanging about as well. A touch too sweet for my liking, but it was good. Thanks Mitch!

Aug 4, 2004 Hazy bronze, light creamy head & lacing. The aroma is piney with lots of grapefruit & citrus *simcoe?) & a bit of musky notes. The flavor is malty, not much bitterness with lots of fruity nuances. Finishes sweet, nicely balanced IPA. Thanks Mitch!

Jul 26, 2004 I went on a very long road trip through the whole west coast and this was the best IPA I tried. Pours a deep amber with a great frothy head. Lots of lacing, even two layered. Aroma of cascade, maybe centennial. Medium bodied with a very full hop flavor. The bitterness is an afterthought but man is it there. This is far more flavorful and bitter than there "Deuce". A great IPA!
