Sep 26, 2009 Pours clear amber-orange with a small off-white head. The nose is a toasty, biscuity malt with bright citrus hops. Medium-bodied, soft and slick with a moderately bitter finish. The flavor is an English/American IPA blend: Maris Otter? with some grassy, earthy hops..Where are the citrus hops I got from the nose? Gonzo. Perhaps I had an olfactory hallucination...This one is OK. But it doesn’t "wow" me.

Aug 17, 2009 Growler courtesy of Gregis. Pour is darker copper, mostly clear. Nice thick lacing left on the glass as the off white head falls. Aroma of marris otter malt, and some earthy, resin hops. Seems to smell like a English style Pale Ale. Taste follows the nose, the toasty malt with resin earthy hops. The hops are nice and clean. Palate is nicely carbonated, finish is clean and brief. Nicely balanced beer. Thanks for sharing Greg.

Aug 11, 2009 On tap at the brewery. Pours coppery with a small head. Aroma is malty with a good bit of hop. Flavor is fruity, malty, and a good bit of hop bitterness. A more historical representation of the IPA. Very drinkable and not overpowering.

Jul 31, 2009 Rich copper - with perhaps a bit of red showing through. Malt on the nose, very light. Not much in the way of hop on the nose.
Bitter is big on the taste - nicely done. Not a citrus, but an earthy bite to it. Perfect palate - nice and full.

Jul 28, 2009 No specs listed on the website, but I recall that the grist was pilsner malt, munich and carawheat. Hops are German Northern Brewer and Tettang Tettanger. A British Ale yeast was used. OG was somewhere north of 1.060.
Malty, earthy aroma with some light fruitiness. Malty, nutty, earthy & woodsy flavor. Bitterness is quite apparent. Mouthfeel is great for this style, very clean and easy to drink. Well attenuated, no caramel sweetness. My kind of IPA.
