Oct 1, 2003 This is a full-figured IPA. Very piney aroma. Nice dark amber appearace. Strong bitter hop flavor that is quite crisp. Enough malt to keep it well balanced and nice bitter finish. Very nice. Not overwhelmingly bitter, but quite enjoyable.

Sep 10, 2003 These boys know how to brew a beer. Not what I was expecting from a CNY winery when I picked up a couple of IPas and Dopplebocks. An almost unsurpassed hop floral bouquet awaits and a fine hopped up but balanced brew. This can compete with the best of them. A rave is in order for a 3-rating beer. I'll try another to make sure I/m not spouting off, but second only to DFH 90 in my opinion.

Aug 20, 2004 Deep ruby red color, piercing hop flavor. The best IPA that my grocery store carries.

Dec 7, 2003 Pours deep clear amber, with a good sized fluffy tan head that somewhat lasts, leaving good lacing. Aroma has caramel, toasted grain, and a good strong amount of floral, citric, and piney hops. Flavor starts a little sweet and bready, middle is a bit spicy, ends with a strong wallop of hops. Medium body. Thanks again to jah noth.

Nov 18, 2004 Pretty amber brown body. Head is off-white, creamy and evenly thick but disipates rapidly. One of the most fragrant, lucious and enticing smells you will ever get from an IPA. Lots of sweet hops, like honey dew, pine cone and pineapple with some raisins, pit fruit, fresh cut wood qualities. Its all I can do not to just down the thing before I finish typing this sentence. Mouth feel begins a little watery until strong, even flavors permeate. Lots of sweet pine and fruity hops turning roasted and citric with some lemon showing near the end. Damn good beer from a smaller, and lesser known brewery. Sweet and bitter managed wondrously in the aftertaste. Solid. Thanks to my boy Jeremy (jgb9348) for bringing this baby back from NY for me.

Jul 22, 2004 hoppy, definitely has a grapefruit taste, clear but would have expected a slightly lighter color, little more that usual after taste, one of the best on tap values for a growler, overall a good hoppy american IPA microbrew

Oct 17, 2003 Very nice. Dry and crisp. BItter and piney. Amber with thin white head and a full roasty flavor. An enjoyable IPA. Leaves a nice lingering bitter aftertaste. On rerate..still enjoyable but could use a bit more malt in teh background. Became more noticable as the beer warmed. Still a great IPA
