May 15, 2004 Very faint aroma...maybe some mild floral hints, but not too much at all. A dissapointment. Transparent copper pour with small white head. Very fruity to start with some woodsiness in the middle--probably some of the oak. Finishes a deceivingly hoppy, but not too bitter. A little thin in the middle.

May 10, 2004 Hoppy, slightly cidery aroma with Some sweet oak present. The smoothness kind of reminds me of a cask ale. Sweet and faintly hoppy with a bit of resinous oak. A solid IPA but I wish it was a bit hoppier

May 10, 2004 Updated: Jul 14, 2005Thin head with a clear orange color. The smell of oranges and vanilla come from this brew. Very full flavor of tangerines and some pine at first. Gets a little lighter as you drink it, but still has character. The wood is in the dry finish. I think that this is a very solid and underrated IPA. If you like the style, give it a try.

May 8, 2004 Bright copper-orange. Thin but creamy head and lace. Aroma has equal amounts of sweet malt, slight fruit and citric hop elements. Light to medium bodied, nicely pronounced sweet/earthy/grainy malt top, citric, bitter hops integrated nicely, I see where the oak might be present in the dry finish but not in flavor of beer. Not a bad IPA by any means.

May 5, 2004 Copper/orange in color with a small white head. Slightly fruity, citric hop aroma with a touch of oak. Piney hops with a dry woddy finish. Lacking in body a bit and could stand to be a bit hoppier.

Apr 29, 2004 Rich golden amber colour with light white head and soapy lacing. Very stong hop aroma out of the bottle, by comparison subdued in the glass. First taste is initially confusing. An array of floral, fruity and woody flavours. Finish is unexpectedly short. Beer is enjoyable and unusual in the sweetness which absorbs and accentuates the hops at the same time making the beer just a little off balance. As the glass empties there is a mix of sour fruit with the sweet. Interesting contradiction get an extra point.

Apr 18, 2004 Clear copper. Nose is malty, some caramel. Flavor is noticeably woody and oaky, some caramel and toffee notes. Nice palate, full and creamy.

Apr 17, 2004 Flavorless, watered down, little oak flavor... not very tasty. I think I need to stay away from Mctarnahan's brews unless they are oak aged or strong.
