Sep 1, 2004 Copper color with a small, off white, bubbly head and very light lacing on the glass. Strong grapefruit, hops, and lighter sweet malts in the aroma. Taste was very nicely balanced between strong hop bitterness, and sweet malts. Dry earthy finish. Certainly a very nice IPA.

Jul 17, 2005 Smooth IPA with a copper color. Nice sandy/floral aroma and taste to this one. A mellow IPA with class -- and not bombed with hops or abv. Nicely done, like everything else at this place.

May 18, 2002 A tasty ale, but not too full bodied. Similar to Ruby Ale, but hops are not as floral/citrusy. The finish is wonderfully clean, with only the slightest note of pure bitterness lingering into a pleasing end. A very likeable brew.

May 21, 2002 Updated: Jul 22, 20047/11/01 Is it an IPA or a pale ale? The bottle says two things, but on tasting, the huge hoppiness and strong aftertaste are much more becoming of an IPA. I think fans of the style will appreciate the power of the hops and the sour/bitterness; I appreciated the great citrusy (grapefruit) nose and beautiful amber color.
5/21/02 I've grown to appreciate IPAs and hoppier Pales more in the past year, so I'm bumping this up a bit. Still not McNeills' best (the Ruby Ale is similar and even better), but so-so from this brewery is miles ahead of the best from most others. 9/4/7/4/15=3.9
July 04: 22 oz bottle, very little fizz, overfilled. Mostly spicy, citrusy aroma, a bit of Cascade pungency as well..very strong. Earthy, woody in the body, malty and juicy at the front, heavily hopped at the finish. Nearly opaque reddish-orange, bottled conditioned and unfiltered. Holds up quite well despite the hordes of IPAs I've had lately...wish I'd plopped for one of these on cask in Brattleboro a couple of weeks ago.

Sep 20, 2005 Bomber shared by Blake. Chunky amber body under a thin white head. Leather, pine needles, pollen, and subdued lemon ride in the well-blended aroma. The flavor is also well-blended with spicy, aged piney hops coming in over earthy, chocolate-covered cracker. Dry finish. This IPA tates aged as the oils have degraded and descended into the malt created a low-profile but complex beer.
