| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 3, 2005 12 oz. bottle labelled oak aged IPA. The beer pours to a dense creamy bubbly white head atop a clear orangish body. The aroma is smooth and hoppy. Nice orange citrus and earthy hops and sweet malts. The flavor is an IPA with light oranges, oaky backbone, and sweet malts. I don’t think this is too bad. Nice balanced flavor. The palate is medium bodied and lightly oily and just on the verge of being bitter. I could drink a lot of this beer. FoolishMortal (966), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 3, 2005 12oz. bottle. Translucent orange with a small white head. Some citrus and grassy hop aroma with tannic underpinnings. Herbal, floral, and grapefruit hop characteristics. Some tannic character offsets a medium maltiness. Finish is residual bitterness with a tinge of phenol. Mouthfeel is medium and fairly dry. pineypower (1104), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 27, 2005 Had high hope for this one because it was oak aged, and I usually like that. Well this time this beer was not anything special. Poured out an amber color wiht a dcent head. Decent aroma of citrus hop. The taste though just wasn’t there, not complex like a normal oak aged beer, just more plain than anything beeryum (652), Norcross, Georgia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 18, 2005 Bottle. Orange amber pour. Woody hop aroma, earthy and slighty ’dirty’. Malty flavors, with more woody hops and a hint of oak (or maybe thats me wanting to taste the oak because of the label). IndianaRed (1561), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 4, 2005 <B<Bottle Pours a clear deep redish amber with a nice very dense off white head. Aroma is a rich fairly sweet citrusy hops with some candy like notes. Flavor is a quite biting hoppiness that definately has a woody quality but I would not have though it would be an intended "oaked" character. The trailer has a bit more of this character in it however. Not particularly rich of smooth and the bittierness keeps the malt flavors down too much I think. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 3, 2005 12 oz. bottle labled Oak Aged IPA. I sure didn’t taste any oak. A bit of Bubble gum in the aroma, that was unexpected. Some hops in there too. The flavor was a bit of sour hops. And a little watered down. Not too great. TheDean (785), MIlwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 1, 2005 What a nice auroma and beautiful beer. Strong hops taste with a slightly bitter aftertaste that brings this beers rating down slightly. Overally, very nice. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA
