Jul 9, 2007 Aroma was week, but this had a decent balance of hops and malt, with a little spice in the flavor. Otherwise nothing remarkably good or bad.

Jul 8, 2007 Pours a hazy golden colr with a medium white head. Very floral hop nose. Flavor has a floral hop flavor along with a cardboardy maltness to it, similar to Anchor Christmas brews. It is a great flavor if you are used to tasting it and expecting it.

Jul 6, 2007 12 oz bottle bought at a liquor store in Middleton CT. This was in the cooler but the cooler was turned off. After the manager asked me a few questions about my id i was actually able to purchase this. Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Nose s of old hops carmel, citrus, floral. The grains are coming out a little in the flavors here. Otherwise floral lemon grapefruit citrus old faded hops. Hmm. This is losing a lot because of freshness. All IPA’s are best on tap and fresh. This one isn’t. You lose, but I won’t be terribly harsh.

Jul 5, 2007 Light opper colored with solid foamy head. Very flowery on the nose, with a touch of spice and citrus. Flowery hop bitterness is prevalent, but there are also malty, caramel hints as well. The hops linger on the palate and make for a refreshing brew and a typical IPA. Good for a BBQ

Jul 5, 2007 Pours light copper orange color with a thick white head. Aroma is pine, grapefruit, and lemon. Smooth citrusy taste with a mildly bitter orange and grapefruit aftertaste. A rather enjoyable and refreshing beer.

Jul 4, 2007 Overall, I’d return to this IPA and make it a staple. It’s full-bodied and hoppy without being overwhelming, which I appreciate. I picked up woody/nutty and some citrusy flavors. I got a little too much hop oil, but overall I found this to be an enjoyable session IPA.
