Jul 1, 2003 Bottle. Copper color with a tan head. A British IPA that actually has some hop aroma and grassy bitterness. But largely it has a weak malt body and flavor that leaves a lot to be desired in an IPA.

Jun 23, 2003 Updated: Aug 19, 2003Golden brown color. Small white head. Aroma of hops. Taste is also of bitter hops and nothing else. I didn't get any of the fruit characteristics others noticed, and that is a quality I like in an ipa. One dimensional and disappointing, I expect better things from this brewer.

Jun 13, 2003 Why is this called an IPA? It's not that bad, but is extremely weak compared to a typical IPA. Nice copper color with small retaining head and little lace. Kind of water with caramel malt flavor. Almost like a weak amber with a medium hoppy finish

Jun 7, 2003 Caramel colored medium amber w/ good head retention and lacing given the apparetly low carbonation. Malty toffeew/ a light tobacco hop aroma and a moderate diacetyl(buttery). Also has a hint of toastiness. Malty and bitter hop flavors balance very well and finishes to the decidedly lingering bitterness, but it's not a harsh bitterness. Fruity, caramel/toffee (diacetyl)buttery are more apparent as it warms than they are in the aroma. Aftertaste is very clean. Medium bodied with low carbonation like it was served out of a cask, but this was filtered since there was no yeast cake, also has a dry mouthfeel. I was expecting a little more ABV for an IPA, but it's a very nice session beer that I could get used to drinking a lot of due to the complexities of this smaller version of an IPA.

Jun 4, 2003 Nice Indian Pale Ale. Good hops, but not very strong, or over powering. Nice malts. A pretty good IPA.

May 29, 2003 Nice deep amber. Mild hops aroma. Nice off-white head. Classic IPA in that it isn't all that agressivly hopped. Hints of citrus (?grapefruit). A very nice IPA.

May 25, 2003 Has a great amber color with little carbonation and a hop smell. Taste is little malted at first and finishes with typical hop flavor, but I also taste a bit of honey sweetness in it. Overall not a bad IPA.
