Oct 27, 2002 This is a great brew!. I just had an Avery’s IPA prior it had more hops. This one was much more balanced. I’d buy it any time it was available at a reasonable price( $4-$6) per 22oz.

Oct 16, 2002 wonderful ipa - I can tell it’s aged well. plenty of hops - but you won’t cringe - just quite zippy. ample malt - almost syrupy - but not sweet. color is cloudy blonde. you can taste the alchohol just a bit - but it doesn’t seem like 8.5%.

Oct 6, 2002 Deep copper color with an off white head, nice hoppy aroma that reminds me of fruit loops. The high ABV is well concealed. This is a fine tasting IPA, almost perfect. The hops are not overpowering, they are just about perfectly balanced with the strong malt character of the beer. Excellent brew, grab a bottle if you find it.

Sep 10, 2002 Load of hops in the nose but the first thing I noticed was the stong malt aroma not unlike a scottish ale with a creamy head that disapates by halfway throgh the glass. Coppery and slightly slightly Baceing at first sip encompasing the mouth with hops. A stong malted barley charactor qickly asserts itself and makes for a superbley balanced IPA to the point of hardly noticing the %8.5 abv.. Oily mouth feel with a dry charactor towards the end and a fairly quick finish of hop flowers. Has defenatly benifited from age.

Aug 17, 2002 For a hop head this is heaven, for anyone else this could be hell. In order to keep this short i will say only one more word: HOPS!!!!!

Aug 9, 2002 the best of the anniversary IPAs. hops seem a little more restrained, and the overall effect is not as syrupy (maybe due to the drying effect of the alcohol being more noticeable).

Jul 24, 2002 This IPA ranks right up there with the best of them. This beer actually took a bite out of me! I was picking hop cones out of my teeth for the rest of the night. Great stuff if you can get your hands on it. All hopheads should get some ASAP. Enjoy.

Jul 23, 2002 Definitely very hoppy. A dray taste, but extremely good if you enjoy the hops.
