Mar 24, 2002 Nice malty aroma. A hint of roastiness on the body with big hop flavor. Finishes a little on the dry side. A very good IPA.

Jul 1, 2002 A good clean IPA with balanced malt and hop bitterness. Aroma of hops and malt is very inviting.

Nov 12, 2002 More of a British style IPA than the West Coast styles we might be used to. Nice hop bite, and a smooth mellow flavor. This brewery seems to be steadily improving, and they had some wonderful seasonal offerings - Smoky the Beer, a smoked porter; and this year’s tasty (and potent) harvest ale. Definately worth a try if you are ever in the East Tennessee area.

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 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!)

Jun 5, 2002 Light aroma. Peaty, a tad smokey and red malt bittered. It is indeed dry, and bitter on the backend. Lingering red malt palate.

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.
