Medium copper pour with a good sized off-white head and sticky lacing. Floral aroma, grapefruity citrussy and spruce hoppiness with a bit of a underlying nuttiness. Decnelty thick mouthfeel. Overall, a very good brewpub IPA. badgerben (3605), Blaine, Minnesota, USA

The taste is not as punch-in-the-face as the aroma suggested it might be. Semi-syrupy hop taste. Spicy and floral. robertsreality (2460), Minnesota, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 17, 2005 Gold Coloring with White Head. Fruity, Dry Hop Aroma. Sweet and Dry Hops...Not Overwhelming at All...Quite Subtle Hop Notes.. Very Drinkable...Even if Hops Aren’t Your Thing. kmeves (1080), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 17, 2004 Amber color with a thick cream head. Pine and citrus aroma. English malts are evident. Dry with a good malt backbone. The flavor of this beer changes from season to season as they use locally grown fresh hops. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 12, 2004 Sample at the brewpub. Lightly cloudy dark amber, pungent but sweetly orangy and hoppy...rather thin and watery, but some good smokiness and solid citrusy hops hold through. JPDIPSO (4929), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA

Pine and citrus aroma, Awesome with the pizza aroma in the backgound. Woody flavors with a somewhat english malt flavor. Dry and malty. A bit unbalanced. Pjones6738 (500), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 30, 2003 This had a nice looking amber color. It was slightly hoppy, but not by much, and had nothing to back it up. While I didn't ask, I was there in the listed season for the local hops. argo0 (6978), Washington DC, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 2, 2003 Hazy amber with medium off-white head. Aroma is floral and medium sweet. Taste is medium sweet, earthy/floral, fruity (apricot). Finishes nicely bitter (earthy/floral). Medium body. Was told the beer is much more intense (and a much better beer) when the hops are fresh (~September).
