May 27, 2004 absolutely the best IPA i’ve ever had. the hops here are probably overdone for most palates but i can’t seem to get enough, i guess its an addiction

Oct 13, 2006 Pretty red orange gold in color with a substantial big bubble head off white in color. Hops dominate the nose with sweet malt in the background (apricot orange) slightly floral as well. This beer is all about the hops everything else is second. I like the way they hit the midpalate firmly then slowly drift back and intensify in bitterness. There’s sweet malt again but very subtle, like plum syrup? The more this beer warms the more it’s fragrance resembles a pine cone which is basically what you could call it, fermented pinecone juice with plum syrup and it’s pretty damn tasty too.

Feb 11, 2008 Love this stuff! Great drinking ale, has supplanted SNPA for me in the best commonly available beer here (CA, that is) Very Californian, solid hops and malt balance, with long finish. Not for the hedonist, but for the drinker.

Feb 5, 2008 Great IPA! Poured with a big frothy, foamy, textured head and some lace. Very nice slightly spicy aroma with a hint of earthiness. Ditto the flavor. Very clear dark amber color. Head lasts for a while. Very long hoppy finish. Not a citrusy hop character. This is the way I prefer it. This just rearrived at the Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Feb 20, 2006 Pours dark amber with a large head. Fresh citrus and hops are the predominate aroma. Nice amount of hops, for an IPA. Not too dominate but, a significant part of the flavor profile.

Aug 2, 2008 Overall a VERY good IPA. I can’t believe I never rated this. Copper with white head, but this is the perfect half-way mark between the dank, skunky IPA’s that are Blind Pig and Maximus, and the light, refreshing IPA’s that are Anderson Valley and Two Hearted. It also has that bright yeast flavor that adds to the IPA if done right.
