Nov 16, 2004 Pours an inviting tall head over a clear amber body that gives off a well balanced bouquet of caramel malt and hops.
Dry without being overly bitter, this is a little different, an intangible complexity where no component pushes to the front, letting you explore the tastes and body at will. Very nice.

Nov 9, 2004 Very pleasing cloudy copper color with average head. Toffee and caramel malt aromas compemented by earthy hops. Medium bodied with a mild acidic astringency that isn’t so good. Bread tries to come through, but doesn’t fully develop. A decent pale ale that leans toward the malt, but nothing to go crazy about.

Nov 7, 2004 Bottle - thanks to slob! Pours rich copper color and slightly hazy with a moderate white head that mostly diminishes. Aroma is predominantly malty, with a floral hop nose and some hnts of spice. Flavor is spicy and hoppy up front, malty/hoppy in the middle with nice sweet maltiness coming on in the finish. Medium body and prickly carbonation. Nice pale ale.

Oct 25, 2004 This IPA head poured with a frothy head that slowly diappeared with lacing down the glass. The aroma was enticing and the color a dark copper. The taste was complex with hops and maltiness. The aftertaste was bitter and lingered.

Oct 18, 2004 Solid, well made pale with all that I want and a whole helluva lot more of the good and much less of the half ass than many if not most of the middle of the road pale ales out there. A job well done.

Oct 11, 2004 Bottle, from Julio’s. Bottled in August. Good nose, nutty, carmel, lttle earthy,cocoa maybe?. Clean orangy brown color. Ok head that faded quickly. Bitter sweet flavors, Carmel, little hint of a baking chocolate, Whole wheat bread,little lemon or grapefruit. Thin body, lite creamy mouthfeel, bitter dry finish. Tasty brew, a long time favorite, I can’t believe I took this long to rate it.

Oct 3, 2004 This has a typical sweetish hop aroma but, otherwise, is quite soft and moderately bitter for a US pale. Now I see it’s down as an English style pale. I’m not sure the style is that English, but it does have a well balanced, understated and rather classy appeal. Not nearly as upfront as some other US offerings, but rather nice. Cask, GBBF 2004.
