Jake Barnes (456), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Mar 27, 2003 In all fairness this probably deserves a re-rate at another time. Had it at the end of RAF and i was so sick of one-dimensonal hoppy beers that this one just pissed me off. Is it too much to ask for some malt flavor in an IPA? I mean seriously...
Rciesla (1571), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Dec 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours an amber body with a white head. Big grassy floral notes up front, with a light spiciness. Light citrus and bready grain backbone with some malt. penguinjive7 (67), Buffalo, New York, USA Nov 20, 2008 Heard this one is on the way out so I figured I had better give a try before it is no more.
Pours a slightly hazy golden color with about a finger’s worth of white head.
Smell is definitely of citrusy hops.
Taste is more of the same with some floral undertones. Nothing too deep and complex. A bit watery with not too much substance to it.
The feel is crisp and tingly, rather nice.
This is an alright brew. I usually am not big on drinking beer with food, but I don’t think I would have this any other way. Nothing outstanding but it was worth trying. Definitely not as strong and full of character as others of the style.
Reviewed on: 04-12-2007 bsm80 (115), Massapequa, New York, USA Sep 6, 2008 Very hoppy beer, of course as are most IPAs...not being a fan of most IPAs, this was decent for the genre. ucusty (1303), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Jul 15, 2008 Copper pour decent head that leaves a nice lace behind. Piney aroma. Malty sweet up front with a cascade hop finish. Good, but a far cry from some others I’ve had metsbcd (82), Connecticut, USA Jul 15, 2008 Had this one a while ago. It was a solid, but unspectacular beer. Pretty hoppy.
