Nov 19, 2003 Clear brownish-amber, smallish head that hangs around and laces. Sweet apple-citrus malt aroma and flavor, with a nice signature IPA hops bite. While not the best of this style, I did enjoy it and would consider this a very good 'session' IPA - it will go on my session list for that purpose.

Nov 15, 2003 This used to be WoodstockIPA now its "Oak Aged" ah well.
bought in the 12 oz brown bottle..with rather handsome elephant on the label.
After pouring the appearance of this IPA is very average , slightly darker than the usual IPA ( maybe it was the Oak?)..small head that goes fast.
the aroma is actually the best part of this beer..some great zesty hop..with a woody undertone..and a certain sweet scent.
taste however is good but very subdued compared to other NW IPAs..its pleasant enough just doesnt tingle my taste buds.
Pretty nice on the palate..not dry.
quite drinkable but not top notch.
Like most MacTarnahans products I can tell this is a well made beer with good quality ingredients..it just never reaches that special excellent plateau..

Nov 6, 2003 Updated: Nov 7, 2003Found this one at Trader Joe's in Riverside Ca. Never heard of this brew...pleasently suprised. Mild hop aroma with good balance and faily even fruity esters across the palate. Small tan head with limited lacing. over all not a bad choice. The bottle I picked up did not look like the picture shown here, the one I had displayed a Elephant holding a cask, but the cap said "MacTarnahans Woodstock India Pale Ale"

Nov 5, 2003 Nice topaz gold color with a fine head. Sweet aroma. Malty assault that broadens into a hoppy palate and leave behind a nice bitter sting in the middle of your tongue. Woody undertones. Mmmm, good.

Nov 2, 2003 Updated: Nov 3, 2003Crystal clear, beautiful, amber-colored brew with a small creamy, off-white head.
The aroma is of grapefruit, light bourbon and oak.
Nicely-balanced. A little thin; nothing really distinctive in the flavor, except for a late appearance of some moderately bitter hops.
Light-bodied with a thin, oily mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation.
The finish is lengthy, bitter and dry. Leaves a lingering, bitter and oily coating on the tongue.
