Apr 18, 2004 This is not really an IPA is it? NO hop aroma, no hop bitterness.
It is a good Brown Ale.

Apr 18, 2004 This is a great beer, but I'm not sure why it's classified as an IPA. It simply didn't have the barrage of intense hop flavors that I expected from a beer of this type. Instead, I tasted a moderately hoppy ale with a great sweet, caramel flavor. It poured an attractive amber with a mammoth head (from bottle), leaving sheets of lace behind. Mouthfeel was incredibly smooth, going down full and creamy, but not too thick. I didn't experience the wealth of hops that I feel should identify a brew as an IPA, but otherwise this is an excellent beer.

Apr 15, 2004 Lacked the full hops taste and aroma that I expected in an IPA. Likewise, the head was on the thin side. Good, but not great.

Apr 8, 2004 Malty, fruity aroma, some light nutty, caramel and butterscotch along with some distinctively herbal, flowery hop notes. Medium orange-amber color, faintly hazy, with a fine, creamy head. Balanced flavor profile, malt and hops accented almost equally, with a goodly amount of caramel and sugary sweetness meeting the fruity, herbal hop flavors and bitterness. Finish is largely dry and hoppy with a very small amount of lingering malt. Palate is exceedingly smooth and creamy, body is medium. Very drinkable once it warms properly.

Apr 5, 2004 Clear copper color. There is a sweet aroma with noticable English hops. The taste is sweet and dry along with being moderately hopped.

Mar 22, 2004 Bottle. Poured beautiful clear amber with a large white head. Aroma is sweet and malty with a generous dose of floral hops. Flavor is also sweet and hoppy, kind of watery with a dry finish. Medium body and smooth carbonation. Not bad at all, this could be a good session ale.

Mar 18, 2004 Good copper color. Head disappeared rather quickly, decent lacing. A sweet hoppy initial taste with a mild hop finish. A decent beer, would have liked a bigger hop finish.

Mar 13, 2004 pours out with a thick head that quickly dissipates. very malty smelling. nice taste, but not hoppy enough. this is good, but i guess i am more prone to liking an american brewed ipa. not bad though. goes down really easy.
