| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 1/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | May 2, 2004 (Draught) Flat - no carbonation and headless with an orange-red body. Nose of mild orange hops. Sweet and hoppy and forgettable considering the weekend line-up of good IPAs like Chelsea and Southern Tier. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | May 2, 2004 Tap and bottle. I thought the brewery serves all of their drafts beers a little on the warm side, so it’s a good thing the bartender put a few bottles on ice for us. Taste was nice and dry and not too aggressively hopped up. Finish was a nice mellow bitterness. tiggmtl (4311), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 1.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 1/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 4/20 | Apr 28, 2004 Horse blanket, sweat, slightly hoppy nose. No head. None. All hops in the flavour. No malt. Very still. Thin. On tap at the TapNY festival. DYCSoccer17 (2192), Davis, California, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Apr 25, 2004 Draft at TAP NY. Pours copper with small off white head. Aroma is slighty hoppy with small sweet malty nose overpowering. The hops in the aroma do not translate to the taste. This is waaaay malty and sweet. Not a good IPA. mkobes (2104), paramus, New Jersey, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Apr 15, 2004 Updated: May 19, 2005Tap at the brewery. Big improvement. Nice fresh hop aroma and flavor. Big malts underneath. Full mouth feel. Thumbs up!
Tap at the brewpub. Pours copper colored with no head. Aroma is a mix of American hops, carmel, and a bit of butterscotch. Flavor has a decent balance of carmel malt and hops, and I did note some diacytle there as well. Needs some head!!! 7-3-7-3-13 apoptosis (1316), Long Island, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 30, 2003 This beer looked real purdy when it was first poured, with a lush white head on a dark copper/brown body. This is a very strange IPA though, as it is not really very hoppy at all. It is very malty, and it has a lot of toastiness to it. The finish has a bitter bite. notalush (2669), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 30, 2003 [bottled] Despite the redundant label ("trail quencher IPA ale"), this is a tasty and unique IPA - dark amber-ish in color, with respectbale lace and medium carbonation - mildly sweet aroma, with some pine - medium bodied but quite malty, with lots of bready flavors and a slight sweetness that balances well with the hops - not as hoppy as most like their IPAs, but it tastes good - citrus in the mix in the finish - this brewery deserves some attention.
