Oct 23, 2004 Bottle pours a vibrant amber, small white milky head, soft carbonation, with fairly sticky lacing. Sweet malty aroma with hints of butterscotch and light hops. This aroma almost comes across as more of a strong ale or barleywine. Smooth butterscotch like malty flavor, quite unique in fact. Very subtle hop flavor. Wonderful body, smooth mouthfeel. Finishes sweet, malty, with a candy like hop bitterness. Yeah... this stuff is tasty!

Oct 12, 2004 750 bottle, vinetage 11/21/01. Clear amber color with a large bubbled tan head. Aroma is lightly carameled, tinny and malt. Taste is dry with a bitter hoppiness and a sour pine taste. I’m also getting some brown sugar and molasses. Nice lacing, but the aroma turns me off right before I drink.

Sep 24, 2004 Updated: Sep 25, 2004Vintage bottled on 1/22/02. Pours a dark amber brown with a thick beige head. Aroma is very malty with some floral hops. Taste is malty and sweet with notes of caramel, apple and ample hops. It is a stronger, maltier, hoppier version of a British IPA. Taste doesn’t resemble the cascade/centennial/columbus grapefruit assault of west coast IPAs - I didn’t pick up any strong notes of pine, resin or grapefruit. Taste is not that bitter and is a little sour with a slight apple cider aftertaste. Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth with subtle carbonation. Good lacing and head retention. Overall, a quality brew.

Aug 29, 2004 Pours a dark red/amber with a medium sized, frothy tan head. Aroma of grapefruit and pine, slightly sharp. Flavor is great, big hoppiness with lots of malty goodness rounding it out. Very full, rich mouthfeel and a dry finish.

Aug 3, 2004 Updated: Aug 8, 2004Deep amber colored pour with a huge thick head that gave off a luscious aroma of citrusy pniey hops that filled the room.
Smooth flavor that is hop centered yet in balance with the malt. Nice bitter finish.
A very good IPA.

Jul 30, 2004 Very solid brew. Not an ibu monster just well balanced. Probably one of the best in a while for me. Piney hop character that is not in your face. Biscuity/toast malt aspect lends to a creamy palate.
