Aug 19, 2003 A very nice look. Deep copper color with a great lingering head. Not much out of the aroma and the hops is lacking. I expected more after the pour. But not bad since it's local.

Jun 11, 2003 Mad Wolf has a pleasant floral aroma and a genuine copper color. The flavor is fruity with lots of hop flavor and bitterness and a bitter-sweet finish. A little sweet for the style but good.

May 25, 2003 Had this on tap at the Mellow Mushroom in Chattanooga. Light orange in appearance. Absolutely no head to it - or a discernible aroma. Hops were not very apparent. It had an odd mouthfeel to it - does not taste or feel like an IPA at all. More malt than hops - an odd take on an IPA.

Apr 2, 2003 having only experienced Stone's Ruination as an example of IPA, this one was a bit odd, but the ruiner is a strong beer. this was a bit mellower and did not have quite the hoppy bite. the aftertaste was a bit odd and did not sit well. it was a nice beer though in all other respects.

Mar 23, 2003 A bit different than I expected, but a nice surprise. Spoiled by midwest hop-addict Dr. Feelgoods like Three Floyds and Bells, I totally expect all IPAs to be huge and hoppy, but this one was subtle and soft, malty and sweet, saving the dry bitter send-off until the tail end. More balanced as it warmed, this was a nice mug of beer. (Make sure to tell your waiter to warm the glass, otherwise it shows up covered in ice!)

Mar 19, 2003 Updated: Dec 3, 2003More a British style IPA with more malt present. Good head and appearance. Hoppy taste but not overdone. As this is probably the closest microbrew to me, I must say I am impressed.

Mar 11, 2003 Good colour, with a nice hoppy nose. Decent taste, but slightly malty, which addds some complexity to the overall beer.
