Feb 3, 2006 12oz bottle shared courtesy of DenverLogan. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of orange peel, spices, and light pine. Tastes of oranges, pine, light caramel, and a little fruity. Not overly bitter.

Jul 10, 2008 12oz bottle pours light caramel amber in color with a small head. Nose centers mostly on some lightly sweet/hoppy fruits, but there’s a mild yet distinct nut/caramel/bread note that I don’t really dig. The hop bitterness and flavor never really develops into anything appreciable, instead it’s muddled and simple and ultimately a disappointment.

Mar 23, 2004 Amber tocopper in color with a big bubbly head, yellow/tan in color. Grapefruit and sweet dough aroma. Medium near oily feel. Raw hops hit from the start. With light pine and sharp citrus components. Finish finds some malt and helps me enjoy this one a touch more. More of an APA/ American IPA as Ernest calls it.

Dec 3, 2003 Updated: Mar 4, 2008Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy medium to dark amber. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain, cookie), moderately hoppy (resin, grapefruit). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately to heavily bitter. Medium body, velvety/creamy texture, lively carbonation. A competent IPA with a nice mouthfeel. Quite dry in the finish with both citric acidity and assertive bitterness, but there’s just enough malt to keep it enjoyable.
