Nov 20, 2006 Bottle. Amber orange pour with great creamy head and good lacing. Stong hoppy aroma and flavor. Very similar to Eye of the Halk.

Nov 13, 2006 12 ounce bottle. Pours a light copper yellow orange color, with a fairly full and compact white head. Aroma leads me to believe that this is of the English type. Buttered toast, and earthy hops. Same in the flavor. A tad peppery up front with a strong bitter finish. Rich satisfying palate. Not awful, but not great.

Nov 11, 2006 Crisp, indeed, to the point of astringency. Far too hoppy for my tastes. Bitter in the finish, which wouldn’t be bad except that it really lingers on the back of the tongue. Too harsh.

Nov 9, 2006 Nice dark pour-looks good. Aroma is standard IPA but not as crisp or fresh as some-flavor is piney, earthy and sweet malt with some unknown frothyness and sourish twinge-maybe too much sugar. solidly avg IPA

Nov 8, 2006 12oz bottle. Aroma: Citrus hops, earthiness, some pine, honey, light sweet maltiness. Appearance: Amber in color and fairly clear. Off-white head was full and frothy with decent retention. Nice lacing. Flavor: Definatly a ’West Coast-Hop Forward’ IPA. Some slight grainy malt and caramel. Orange peel, resin and pine. Some light grassiness into the finish. Bitterness is Fairly strong and lingers for quite awhile. Palate: Medium bodied. Medium carbonation. Dry finish. Overall: A decent IPA, but a little too much lingering bitterness for my taste.

Nov 8, 2006 Poured out a light medium amber, with an aroma of hops, flowers, citrius. Taste was somewhat pungent of other IPA’s Ive had. Hops, black pepper, pines. Not exactly what I would consider an upper level IPA, but still qualifies as one IMO. Slight alcohol bitterness in the end. I think if it was a bit smoother, this would be a better IPA, otherwise its sorta ordinary to me.

Nov 3, 2006 Bottle:Cloudy gold color with a white head. Spoiled hop aroma with pepper, cardboard and plastic. The taste is disgusting. Metallic bitter flavor - hair spray and other nastiness. This is by far the worst IPA I have ever encountered.

Oct 27, 2006 On tap. Poured decent light yellow color with thin head. Aroma hoppy, but not quite all there. Taste of citrusy hops were there but too mild, and the finish was smooth. A decent brew, but had its shortcomings.
