Mar 23, 2006 Well balanced maltiness and hops. Flavor is assertive and finished well. Darker that I thought an IPA should be at first, but great taste was overwhelming in the end.

Mar 3, 2006 Bottle Pours a cloudy orange/light amber. Very small off white head, but nce thin sheets of lacing. Maintaining a ring at al times. Aroma is quite fruity. Grapefruit, tangerines I dont detect much in the way of pines. Some hint of the 7% ABV lurking. First sip is a surprise. Musty, woody and thin. LIngering bitterness was not the pleasant hoppiness that I expected. I honestly hope this is not supposed to taste like this. Dissapointing.

Feb 6, 2006 Updated: Dec 8, 2008Enjoyable mix of bitter citrus hops and moderately sweet malt. Definitely a bit sweeter than your average NW IPA, but very fitting for a winter version.

Jan 12, 2006 Cloudy orange brown color...sweet fruity aroma of peaches and apples with hints of honey. Hops dominate up front with a sticky sweet body that finishes dry with a bit of fruitiness.

Jan 8, 2006 I did not enjoy this at all. I got a couple of sips into it and poured this one down the drain. A huge salty, smoky taste of peat, almost like you would expect from certain regions of Scotch. Warm band-aid aroma, big malt character na d not alot of the hops I was expecting. Yuck!
