Apr 19, 2002 Very interesting brew, the first time I have had this type of darker pale ale, didn’t keep that great of a head out of the bottle, black color, floral hoppy aroma, a mixed type of taste between malty & hoppy, a malt type of aftertaste, didn’t have the punch that IPA’s usually carry, but a nice mix of a darker style of beer with a pale ale

Oct 30, 2000 A unique style of ale. They refer to it on their packaging as an IDA. Dark, malty, rich with a slighty less hop presence than a typical IPA.
