| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Nov 27, 2004 On tap at the brewpub in Princeton. One word to describe this IPA would be WEAK! There’s no hop here until the finish - the body is just bland. Where’s the beef??? dberger624 (1028), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 29, 2004 Draft at Sippin By the River fest in Philly. From the New Hope, Pa location. Ok beer. Nothing special. Bitter English IPA. hopdog (5600), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 19, 2004 Updated: Sep 20, 2004On tap. Poured a medium amber with a smaller head. Hoppy, citris and floral aroma and tastes. Bitter finish. OK IPA. pobenohne (504), Northern Liberties, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 13, 2004 On draft at the brewery in New Hope. A gorgeous pint: cloudy amber brew with nice head and some lacing. Faint pine needle scent that quickly fades. Flavor is dry, mild and subtle for an IPA. Nate (2552), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 17, 2004 Weak hop aroma, watery with little malt. Hazy orange-amber with off-white lacing head. Medium body carbonation. Ok hops, fruity, ozone. Decent malts. Light acidic finish and bitter after, but not overbearing. Average IPA. beaconstreet (811), Washington DC, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 12, 2004 An alright IPA, doesn’t try too hard, which is a good thing, but doesn’t have the same after-bite left from say, Harpoon. Good color, a medium amount of hops, a good IPA, and let’s just call it a day. Jine (896), Nutley, New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 11, 2004 Decent but nothing amazing. Nice example of an IPA. I’ll recommend it freekyp (901), Thomasville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 19, 2004 Medium bodied with a slick mouthfeel. Deep amber body is topped with a solid mid-sized head. Good lacing. A hint of strawberry carries throughout and ends in a sharp bitterness which settles into a long moderately bitter finish. Sweetness and bitterness are not mixed at all. There is a big diffferential with the strawberry sweetness and hoppy bitterness playing separate sides of the spectrum without ever seeming to touch.
