Jan 17, 2005 thx to DocLock for this one. bottle, pours a cloudy amber color with virtually no head. not terribly hoppy or dry yet the presence is still there to enjoy. not a lot of carbonation here. all in all, a solid brew.

Jan 13, 2005 I couldnt identify the hops from the aroma which I thought was earthy and alittle malty. Seemed like a bitter beer that coats your tongue with bitterness but not a lot of hop aroma or flavor, both of which are important to me in a great IPA

Dec 24, 2004 12 oz bottle. Faintly hazy apricot color with a tinge of pink, medium lasting head and delicate lacing...big orange-grapefruit nose with a dollop of sugar and faint oak...solid mixture of fruitiness and bitter floral hops throughout...dries out a bit at the end, bitterness mixed with just a touch of cardboard (this could be a slightly old bottle), but not enough to really damage this very solid IPA.

Dec 21, 2004 Updated: Dec 29, 2004Surprisingly little head but what does develop lasts. Clear and nearly orange body. Lovely hoppy nose with some grapefruit. Well balanced with a nice bite. Long finish makes the tongue tingle. Nice compliment to my sharp cheddar and pepper jack grilled cheese! Take it all with a grain of salt as I’m new at this and recently kicked a cold. Plus, close-out deal made this a steal at $3.99/6 pk!

Dec 12, 2004 Updated: Jun 10, 2006When I think of an IPA, this is what I think of. Extremely well balanced, very fresh tasting, and a wonderful crisp finish. Appearance wasn’t great, no head really, but the flavor made up for it. I like this because it actually complemented my sub, while many of my favorite IPAs overshadow food.

Nov 30, 2004 After stouts and porters, give me an IPA. And this one isn’t bad. Hazy amber body beneath a small but frothy white head. The familiar hint of grapefruit, some floral, and a modicum of malt. Good balance. Fairly light bodied with medium carbonation. The flavor is crisp and clean and refreshing. Citrusy. A good drink.
