May 4, 2006 12oz bottle. golden color. lots of bubbles, white head and lace....grapefruity aroma with a little bit of rubbery/burnt phenols. Drinks with a light body, fizzy, and bitter. Not digging the Cluster in the bitterness...a little too earthy in the wrong way for me...other than that, this is a pretty crisp, dry, bitter beer with obvious cascade fruitiness to it and not much else. I’ve always wondered who buys this in Nebraska??? I rarely do, and always come away feeling like I remembered why...$9/6-pack for an average pale ale isn’t my idea of a good time.

Apr 26, 2006 Aroma of citrus and malt! Malt? Great golden color. Grapefruit fibre component. Definitely no sweetness. If I couldn’t buy it everyday, I’d ache for it. The finish is pretty smooth, and the aftertaste seems top of the tongue rather than sides. Mouthfeel is thin but sudsy. A classic. Seems most people don’t adequately appreciate this pioneering ale.

Apr 15, 2006 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear pilsener golden with a creamy, off-white head. Rather neutral aroma with only a small whiff of hops. Medium body, some pale ale maltiness and a marked bitterness in the finish. I miss some refinement in the aroma hops. A bit disappointing. 270306

Apr 9, 2006 From a 12 oz. long neck brown bottle with a blurb about the IPA on the neck label, no bottled/freshness date. Made a decent appearance, poured a hazy slightly tarnished golden with a foamy white head that settled into a thin lacing, medium carbonation. Had a mild orangey yeastiness and fruity malt nose with a piney hoppiness in the background. A smooth, textured medium bodied mouth feel, above average drinkability. A piney and citric hop bitterness upfront, a grainy and fruity maltiness and a dry, crisp spicy hop and grainy finish with a little yeastiness lingering in the palate.
Not a bad A/IPA, sort of a middle of the packer, worth trying if on sale.

Apr 8, 2006 Not a terrible beer but it seems to have a kind of odor and bitter that are not natural. An average beer that if it tasted and smelled as good as it looked it would be great. I have 5 more and I wonder what it would taste like if you drank 5 or 6 in a session. I’m afraid the bitter would become an unpleasant one.
