Oct 1, 2004 Great session IPA, copper in color, small off-white head, very little lacing around the glass, nose full of hops & spices, maybe a slight hint of nutmeg, very smooth & drinkable, medium in body, very dry & bitter, hoppy of course, lots of fruit undertones, hints of lemon, grapefruit & orange, slightly sweet & malty finish along with more notes of dryness & bitterness

Nov 3, 2004 Another fine IPA from Brian O’Reilly. Pours copper with subdued creamy head. Firm aroma of hops, citrus, pine, and slight fruit. Tastes complex, with hopcit, subdued fruit, and some piney essence at its culmination. I think this is the first of the varietal IPAs I’ve rated less than 4, but a 3.8 is damn good. I can’t wait to sample all 9 in the same night.

Sep 30, 2004 On tap at The Sly Fox. Poured a medium to deep amber color with a smaller off white head. Citris aroma (light oranges and lemons). Stronger lemon tastes. Nice bitter, dry finish. Overall, a very good IPA.

Jan 28, 2005 Fruity, herbal and earthy aromas with hints of citrus but nothing close to the citrus in PNW hops. Flavor is herbal and fruity and fairly clean. Good finish.

Sep 30, 2004 Poured a copper color, with a thin off white head, that left little to no spots of lacing on the glass. Lightly spiced, soft floral, and citrus hop aroma. A sweetness was also detected in the aroma, however that aroma was weak. Taste was initially bitter grapefruit, and then sweet and citrusy oranges, lemongrass, and finishing sweet malt. Prickly (carbonated, bitter hops) mouthfeel.

Dec 11, 2004 Tap at SF IPA event. Clear orange, tan head. Hoppy aroma. Mostly hop flavor and bitterness. No real malt backbone. This did not really stand out, but there is nothing really wrong with it other than it may have been too cold to get the malt character...

Dec 10, 2004 Tap. Clear amber in color with dense off-white head. Barely an aroma--a bit fruity. Very hoppy and dry. A bit darker than the others in taste.

Dec 20, 2004 Draft at the brewery for the IPA Project. Finfing out the fuggle hops aren’t my thing. It was good for the style and had a slight bitter flavor. It’s just not favorite hop.
