May 13, 2006 Harbor City’s version of an IPA is considerably less hoppy than most IPAs that come to mind. The nose is quite hoppy with citric/coniferous notes, but the ale itself is more flavorful than bitter. This is a pretty good beer, just not an IPA. Perhaps more of an American pale?

Apr 24, 2006 Pours a light amber color with a mostly diminishing head. Aroma is lightly grainy with decent hops. Flavor is intially bitter with a sweet hop finish. Kind of light for an IPA but decent.

Feb 25, 2006 Has a decent, although kind of stale, hoppy aroma. Nice golden amber color with a white, frothy head. Flavor is pretty cruddy, and doesn’t speak well for an IPA. Decent body and texture, and lively carbonation. Overall, it’s OK.

Dec 15, 2005 Copper Coloring with White Frothy Head. Dry Almost Leathery Hops Flavor. Very Dry Overall.... Seems Like when a Beer Has Blank Number of Malts and/or Hops, Some Interesting Things Start Happening. Some for Better and Some For Worse. This Brew Isn’t Bad Per Se, But Hard to Peg Down The Interesting Take on an IPA that is Full Tilt.

Dec 6, 2005 By far the worst tasting beer I have ever had. I love IPA’s and Double IPA’s but this beer had no resemblance of an IPA. It tasted more like . . . dirt? And had absolutely no hop aroma whatsoever. I had a very difficult time finishing one.
I did not see any brewed date and the apppearance gave no indication that it was contaminated in any way.

Nov 12, 2005 Copper color with a thin head. Aroma of dry apples. Bitter taste with more fruit tones (apricot?). Dry finish. An interesting IPA that misses the typical hallmarks of the style.

Oct 27, 2005 Murky orange color,large large white fluffy head that faded very slowly.Malty hoppy aroma with plenty of grapefruit coming through as well as maybe a slight sweetness.The flavor is malty upfront then it shifts to a medium bitter grapefruit and hops taste with a nice smooth feel all around.Nice brew,maybe a little weak on the hops but still a decent brew.Well worth trying again.

Oct 17, 2005 Tap, and poured by the brewer, so I see no reason to second guess this beer’s integrity. Transparent bright orange with a grayish head that looks like the beginning of mold growth inside of a Tupperware container of leftovers in the fridge. Honeyed hops drown out nearly all other characteristics that could creep up in the nose. At best, we can fight through it to faintly discern sweet pine air fresheners, golden sweet corn and mildew on wood chips. Thin body at the onset. If it’s possible for hops to spoil, we have confirmation here. Hops and carbonation seemingly compete for the bragging rights of being named “most offensive,” as well as divert attention away from just how tragic this beer is overall. No malt sweetening and some sort of tainted red pepper flavor in place of where spicy hops could historically reside. Such a slap in the face to the craft beer industry.
