Aug 20, 2004 Draught at Spuyten. Deer clear orange hue with a small off-white head. Interesting aroma with some nutty part I can’t put my finger on. Supposedly this is made with rye? It blended pretty well (hop rod rye anyone?) although very accessible. Hops are orangey and earthy which gives an english feel. Mouthfeel is smooth, rather mouth-filling and displaying lower than average effervescence. Nice malt bill (rye, cereals, caramel), Spicy peppery and orangey finish. I like it!

Aug 26, 2004 Draft. Pours dark straw with medium head. Aroma of malt, fruit, hops. Tastes malty, with hops, slight fruit, and slight corn chips. Medium palate with a malt/hop/fruit/limey corn chip finish that was slightly dry. Unique.

Jul 5, 2004 Draft at Monks... This was a very interesting, IPA? Whoa... Poured a dark reddish caramel color, medium sized off white head, and nice lacing. Aroma of yeast, light citrus, and tropical fruits. Interesting flavors going on in the taste. It tasted somewhat sweet, citrus (orange peel), some pepper, a little alcohol, and finally finishing a little roasty. Light carbonation. This tasted very Belgian to me, hops were not all that pronounced.

May 14, 2004 Dough tasting ale with a bitter hop taste. I’m not sure what’s sour in this, but there’s something I can’t put my finger on (apricot?). Tastes more like an English Style IPA than a pale, but very drinkable.

Jan 5, 2005 Draft at Blind Tiger.
Great IPA. Well-balanced and fruity. Spicey aroma. Complex refreshing body and a nice average long hoppy finish. A good IPA.

Aug 30, 2004 07.10.04 tap @ HW open house. Orangey gold color. Seemed quite young to me, others at the tasting agreed. Nice malt backing makes it recognizably Heavyweight. Bready and sweet but with a harshly sharp, dry fresh hop bite. A welcome hoppiness, but too harsh it seemed for the type of hops used. Alas, the potential for this beer was evident and six weeks later it sounds like the beer has mellowed quite a bit.
