| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 9, 2005 From a 12oz. bottle, best by Feb 2004. Pours a sparkly, light amber with a half inch of head. Nursed this one for about an hour and the a nice head remained, some lace but quickly dissipates. Smells of hops, pepper and cinnamon. Taste is sweet and malty but quickly gives you a strong bit of hops. I found it extremely hoppy but that may just be because heavily hopped brews are difficult to come by in Maine. A medium body with legs, aftertaste lingers on the palette for several minutes. Certainly drinkable but a bit too hoppy to be truly smooth. A very good product from an underappreciated brewer (at least within Maine.)

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 8, 2009 Super cloudy, super dark orange. Large puffy, pillowy head. Thick and hazy. Looks awesome.
Mild citrusy and flowery hop smell. Slightly toasted sweet, bready malt. There is a dark raisin aroma here.
Strong blast of alcohol in the taste, followed by a strong woody hop. The alcohol is very very strong. Sharp burnt malt, roasted and gritty. This is a strong ale with hops. A unique taste for an IPA. There is even some coffee in the malt.
Bubbly and thick feel. Milky on the palate. A strong but remarkably balanced IPA. The malt really holds its own here. Heavy, but not extreme. Less an IPA than a strong ale with some hops. jah noth (1015), Rochester, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 16, 2003 Surprisingly rich, malty flavor. Decent amount of hop flavor with a bit of a sour flavor. Clear, dark golden color. Very refreshing and pleasant.
