Jun 17, 2005 Nice aroma that is a good balance of malt and hops. Nice brassy color but small head. Taste is quite nice with a near perfect balance of bitter and sweet. Not as bitter as most IPA’s but I find that refreshing. Aftertaste is malty with a hint of bitterness. Nicely done.

Jun 15, 2005 IPA’s are not to my liking, but I’ll drink it if I’m in town. Gotta support the local brews.

Jun 11, 2005 Bottle. Light gold with a small white head. Lightly hoppy and fruity aroma and taste. The bitter finish doesn’t make up for the overall weakness of this beer.

Jun 9, 2005 Pours amber with a one-finger head and little bubble action. Decent one-sided hop aroma of pine. Hops dominate the taste, along with an interesting tree bark flavor that lines the bottom of my mouth (which is the hops, so I repeat myself). Hop flavor reminds me of an English IPA--not as strong as some of the Americans I’ve tried. There are better IPAs out there, but it’ll do for a quick trip to Martin’s.

Jun 6, 2005 Bottle. Golden with a thin, short lasting white head. Sweet grassy, herbal aroma, not too strong. Thin bodied, easy drinking citrusy flavored ale. Kind of like a light version of a west coast pale ale. Not the malt backbone or the hop bitterness of an American IPA. Should be called something else(stick with the Ballard Bitter). A pretty easy drinking summer beer that I like more than the Blonde or Sunrye. How do they get this over 6% ABV?

Jun 6, 2005 not that exciting. Dark amber. Faint hop aroma. Smooth flavor, but not enough bite for an IPA

Jun 4, 2005 Eh, not that good, especially considering anywhere you can find this, you can prolly get Sierra Nevada. A golden color with minimal white head. Not much in the aroma, do sense some spicy herbals. Initially bitter, and then some slight citrus comes through to a clean finish. Medium body with a slick texture, all it is missing is some flavor.
