Jun 16, 2004 This is my favorite India Pale Ale from a brewpub. Terrific odor, appearance, and flavor, this is worth the trip to Lawrence if you’re in the area.

Sep 9, 2001 God, I love this beer; it’s my staple brew whenever I’m at Free State. Excellent hoppy beer, with a nice Cascade-y flavor and aroma and a fantastic color. I dread the day I ’ll have to live without it.

Dec 28, 2004 At the brewpub ... Pure copper color. Metallic hoppy aroma and flavors. Nice malt underpinings. This is a nice pale ale.

Dec 9, 2002 Updated: Jun 25, 2004This is nice, I appreciate the traditional approach to this beer, and whenever I have beers such as this one (very infrequently) I like to think that this is how ales were in England and America in the early 1800's. I appreciate the ruby-tinted amber/brown color and large foaming natural looking head. Aroma is earthy with some herbal hops and earthy almost smoky malts. A touch of grapefruit is apparent in the early whiffs but subsides quickly. Flavor is very well balanced, with a woody and earthy note that seems to result from both malt and hops. This is a beer that makes it very difficult to pick out the ingredients, everything is so well melded. In fact, its so good that you're missing out if drink this any cooler than about 60 deg F (although it can go down to the low 50's, you'll be amazed at its drinkability in the low 60's).

Sep 22, 2002 Copper body, ok head. Fresh grapefruit aroma. Flavor is solid grapefruit, but not a hop bomb. Limited sweetness, good flavor from tip of tongue to the back of the throat. Good stuff.

Dec 12, 2002 Updated: May 19, 2003This is a very good beer, although I'm somewhat partial to the style. Reminded me somewhat of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, yet not as citrusy; more emphasis on the piney notes. This is my standard beer order at Free State, although it may have to contend with the Oatmeal Stout in my beer-enlightened future.
