This is a tart brew with a very hoppy bite, but it’s not as clean as it should be and the hops are not as big. The finish is sour and there is a dishwater hop aftertaste. If you keep drinking the beer before the previous taste finishes, I think you may be all right. Perhaps that’s the idea. SledgeJr (3000), Omaha, Nebraska, USA

The hop bitterness is very strange in this "IPA." There is no flavorful grapefruit bitterness like you would expect. Just some strange unpleasant burnt sensation on your tongue. I think that if you unplugged your toaster, washed it out in the sink, then tasted the dishwater it would resemble this "thing." Disgusting. eboats (901), Omaha, Nebraska, USA

Some bitterness with a lemon taste. Very weak IPA especially in the hops department. Honestly I don't think this even passes as a pale ale. Braudog (3778), Dayton, Ohio, USA

Robust-enough grapefruit flavor. Sweet and tart with an OK malt underpinning. A stock IPA, but this is among the best they offer at Upstream. BBB63 (4271), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 14, 2003 Golden hue with small head and some lace. The aroma is the standard pine, grapefruit, toasted and biscuit malts, floral hops, barnyard yeast,and sour apple. The taste has bitter forefront with a fruity twang and additional malt undertone. Lingering bittering found. Medium-bodied and slighty creamy. Solid IPA, not big but drinkable. bu11zeye (5652), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 16, 2003 The very first beer that I tasted at the 2003 GABF. Only because Joe really wanted to get the state of New Hampshire in his ratings. So here it is, the state of NH representing at GABF! Mild IPA with little hops. Very drinkable with slight citrus tastes. Slightly acidic but mild IPA at best. Volgon (2490), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
