Without being too careful in pouring, it produced a huge head. The aroma was interesting--I thought it had a martini or Gin & Tonic-like aroma, plus something fruity--someone else has said mango, and that may be right. The flavor is well...IPA...you know...hoppy, somewhat (but not overpoweringly) bitter. Not complex, but nice. stephen (308), California, USA

Flavor is dminated by green vegetable flavor and citrus. Fairly thin and refreshing. Jayb0 (752), Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA

Not necessarily knocking me out or anything like that but just in general good. This brew is no exception. In the glass: Lovely copper color just like the color behind the bottle in the picture to the upper left. Nice frothy head that lingers and lingers. Smell is excellently floral with a nice hint of the malt coming through all vanilla like and woody. On the palate. The floralness comes through much more intensely than the bitterness. This IPA does two things other IPAs don’t which are:
1.the aromatic hop boil is emphasized rather than the bittering boil.
2.the malt is excellently present and not overshadowed by the hoppy flavors.
Great brew go get it

Nose was hops, lemon citrus pine grapefruit. Lots of floral and pine meddles into some grounding malts, finish is hops, grapefruit, very juicy, Very nice IPA.

Standard west coast IPA aroma--citrus- and pine-heavy, with very light malt backing. Very hoppy, with virtually no malt flavor. Dry, grassy, and citrusy finish. A bit one-sided, but very good.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 26, 2005 This one is unique. It’s not like it’s west coast brothers...this IPA has a different malt profile and hop character than your typical west coast style IPA. Maybe this has more English IPA style to it...I need to try more of those. The aroma is malty with a bit of alcohol coming through. Taste is much the same...toasty malt and good hop flavor. These hops are all flavor and no bittering or aroma...to bad so sad. Still, this in an IPA that’s on my regular "BUY" rotation. rocbyter (930), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA
