Sep 30, 2009 An amber IPA with a thin creamy white head. A rather strong butterscotch aroma, wiht light c-hops. In mouth, a crisp malt with light British hops, very mild and boring. Medium bodied. On tap at brewpub, August 27 2009.

Jan 12, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Strong floral? hop aroma. It was served way too cold. Darkish amber color with a fine beige head. Near medium body with very light carbonation. The flavor is a bit watery. Light malt and light floral hop. It has substance, but it has less impact than many IPAs. Based on the ratings, I wonder whether there is indeed more than one recipe.

Nov 13, 2007 Draft. Copper color with an off-white head. Citrus aroma with light pine. Citrus, slight malt, pine, grass flavor. Medium body. Lingering citrus, caramel, and pine. Low bitterness for an IPA, but better overall than I’d heard.

Sep 19, 2006 3. Litre on tap at the brewpub. Distinct caramel, nutty, malty aroma which has some piney and grapefruity hops in the nose. A little spicy hoppiness is also detected. Hops seem a bit subdued, though, but are quaffable enough. Mild-moderate hazy, rusty orangey-copper color with nice lacing and a creamy off-white head. Sweet, sugary maltiness to start. A bit too sweet and underattenuated. Aggressive juicy hops follow this. These hops have earthy, dry, citric, and grapefruity flavors. The sweet, sugary malts and the dry hop profile of tis makes this beer taste off. If they would have let this ferment more, it would score much much better.

Aug 17, 2008 On tap at the brewery. Amber with a lasting head. Not very aromatic, with some earthy hops and toasty malt. The flavor is a dry, toasty malt flavor with plenty of bitterness and not too much floral or fruity hop flavor. Alright, but not one of their better beers.

Nov 24, 2007 Citrus and malt nose. Biscuit and caramel notes on the palate with little hop flavor. Mildly sweet and earthy finish.

Apr 11, 2007 Draft at Sudwerk. Clear light copper color with a white head. Malty aroma with an almost liverish yeast smell. A malt forward English style IPA. Nicely bittered but with little hop aroma. The strange yeast character carries over into the flavor as well.

Jul 16, 2008 Very bitter and refreshing. Full of bittering hops with not much in the way of florals. Still, there are some. It lacks the dankness of a truly great IPA, or the pure floral outburst of an outstanding IPA. The nose is biscuity with the small amount of florals in this one. Not very balanced - not much to chew on either.
