Quite sweet, fruit more than hoppy, enticing. Simple and easy drinking, really good. Like the other two Dremos beers I had this night, it was undercarbonated by most American standards, but I rather liked it mildly flat, and it still had a well-built body despite all.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 23, 2004 Cask at the 2004 Dominion Beer Festival:
Super hazy golden coloured body with a strong dense white head. Aroma of unfinished wort. Light-bodied; Strong hops in the taste with a complete unfinished taste-a bit off! Overall, not good but nice to try anyways. I sampled this on ’pseudo-draught’ at the Old Dominion Brew Festival 2004 on 27-June-2004 in Ashburn, Virginia. Rating for this sample: 6,4,6,2,11
Draught at Dr. Dremo:
Clear dark golden coloured body with orange highlights and a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of light hops-not too strong with some malt as well. Medium-bodied; Decently strong hop flavour-not bitter at all, but very clean & refined. Aftertaste shows little else-perhaps it was a bit old? Overall, a decent IPA-needs some work, but i’m somewhat impressed with this local! I sampled this pint on draught at Dr. Dremo’s in Clarendon (Arlington), Virginia on 05-August-2004. Rating for this sample: 6,3,6,2,12
