Aug 17, 2003 Smells like a bale of fresh hops. Wonderful aroma. Medium to dark gold in color. Flavor is a great balance between slightly toasted malt, hop spiciness and true, fresh hop flavors. The only thing keeping this from scoring higher is that I wish there was a slight bit more hop twang at the finish. A great session beer for hop lovers.

Sep 1, 2002 Amber in color, lacy white head, fruity & floral aroma, I agree with jca_lbi in that this IPA doesn’t have the ’west coast’ hoppiness as the brewery claims, spicy & hoppy finish, citrusy flavors as well, excellent IPA

Jun 2, 2002 Nice floral, hops aroma. Golden honey color, nice head. Smooth carb, watery. Very hoppy to taste, a bit too bitter but clean. Nice IPA with bitter finish. Good beer.

Sep 7, 2006 Dark amber-oak appearance with a slim head. Enticing fresh hop aroma, balanced with a hint of roasted malt. The taste does not disappoint, with an excellent balance of medium malt followed by the crisply-proportioned hop finish that lingers enjoyable in the top of your mouth. This is the best Nodding Head beer I tried and the only one I would order again.

Dec 1, 2009 Eastern PA does APA’s right. Nearby Stoudt’s produces another favorite. This was by far the best brew I imbibed at Nodding Head and is a highly quaffable, sessionable brew. Fills a glass with its brassy body and shaving cream head. Delightfully hoppy. Although the aromas are complex, I am told it solely uses Cascades, with which, living in the PNW, I am intimately accustomed to. However here, the Cascades are let to shine like in few other brews. Giving off a pinyness, floralness, and spiced forest character. The flavor demonstrates similar Cascade complexity with the only detraction a slight soapy pinyness on the finish. Outstanding.
