Sep 29, 2006 Tasty little IPA here, I enjoyed it. I’m trying like hell to get tickets to the Stoudt’s micro fest with LITTLE success. However, that is unrelated to this beer.

Sep 26, 2006 On tap and cask at the Green Leafe. I think this was better on cask. Soft carbonation...nice amber pour..minimal head. Nice light mix of malt and hops in the nose...great English style. Balance is a word that comes to mind. Consistent to the last drop....great session ale.

Aug 26, 2006 This IPA was tasted at the Richbrau Festival in August 2006. It was one of the early IPA tasted. The deep copper color and modest head with fregrant hops was very welcome. It was well a balanced IPA with good citrus flavors . It was well received at the event.

Jul 29, 2006 Fruity aroma with earthy hops. Pours a golden amber with a nice white head. Lots of fuggles hops -earthy and citric, with a nice softcaramel backbone. Rather like this.

Jun 22, 2006 Thanks to the_Epeeist for the trade. Amber clear pour, shortlived and not very large head. Nose had faint roasted malt but more prominant flowery and grassy hops. The malt flavor character is certainly more "British" than many US-made IPAs, but I can’t put my finger on why I feel that way exactly. Maybe it is the lack of caramel, but still largely roasty malt flavor. Elusive. The hops are more grass than pine. There is some syrupy citrus in there too, especially at the end. Nothing was too overpowering, but neither was any one characteristic mindblowing. The result is a very drinkable IPA, pleasant but not terribly impressive.

Jun 17, 2006 Had this one bottled in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Everything I had from this brewery was good, and the IPA was no exception. Dark yellow pour, clear with a typical hoppiness throughout, notes of roses -- but a bit less dry than I like them. Nonetheless, great beer.

Jun 16, 2006 Bottle. Pours clear orange with frothy white head, quickly dissipating. Impressive nose of sweet honey with flowers and hops. Flavors are hoppy but with heavy maple syrup, brown sugar and caramel. Hops grow through finish. Interesting take on the style, but flavors are unbalanced -– sweetness almost syrupy, before giving way to thin hoppiness. Tasty but a little wet for an IPA.

Jun 13, 2006 Amber color. Smell of some hops, malt and nuts. Tastes of nuts and malt with some hops tossed in. Nice bitterness at the end.
