Oct 9, 2007 The quintessential IPA, Rae McNeill hits us across the face with a 2x4 of hop flavor!

Aug 11, 2007 A cross between an English and an American style IPA, very well done with good bitterness prominent. The malt serves to generate a proper level of bitterness, I think most enjoyed with heavier food. Fresh bottle from recent Vermont trip and carbonation, while suitable, bloated me to no end. Different and recommended, I would like this on cask.

Aug 9, 2007 Pours a translucent orange with a foamy lacing white head. Aroma was mild, oranges and lemons. Flavor is certainly all spicy English hops, grass, and a touch of malt. The finish is slightly soapy and astringent. Better than the Champ Ale, but not a beer I’d repeat.

Mar 31, 2007 Poured a very nice amber red with a creamy white head. Aroma was faint grassy and sweet. Flavor was ok, a bit funky, and very flat.

Mar 4, 2007 A neat little brewpub and I had this on cask and I don’t think it was very well brewed and McNeills makes better beers. Page 298 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide and only 327 out of his 500 Classic Brews to go.

Feb 27, 2007 on cask at the brewpub. Hazy orange in color with low carbonation. Aroma is citrus, floral hops, as well as a minor pine note. Taste is alot of citrus and floral hops, a good amount of bitterness throught the taste, as well as a pretty decent malt backbone. pretty well done.

Feb 14, 2007 Pours cloudy copper orange with off white head. Very active. Lots of bubbles look nice. The aroma is malty and hoppy. Cascade, grapefruit, and citrus. A very fruity hop on top of mild malts. Flavors are a sharp citrus hop, overly fruity and some alcohol after tastes. Hop bitterness does not seem ballanced enough. Lingering hop bitterness keeps you comming back, but the mix is unballanced.
