May 15, 2002 Aroma is of apricots, bread, pine, and caramel. Here is that over carbonation again for which I really did not care, just like in their ESB. Flavors are musty, lemon rind, and substantial bitterness with a quality hop burp from adequate dry-hopping. Thanks, Venom.

Apr 24, 2002 Excellent IPA, dark amber color, very floral & hoppy aroma, kept a very good head for being out of the bottle, very spicy aftertaste, nice & pale characteristics, very excellent IPA

Apr 24, 2002 Unfiltered light amber with some suspended flecks. Creamy off white head. Light carbonation. Aroma of toasted malts and citric hops. Fills your mouth with a full body and balanced flavor. Creamy yet lightly crisp. Juicy citric hoppiness atop a chewy malt base. Good carrot burps. Not as balanced or integrated as previous versions but all in all a good session IPA. Finishes thicker. Nicely done as always.

Mar 20, 2002 A great balanced IPA. nose if very floral and hoppy. taste is more rounded out. some smooth malt to take the edge of all the hops.
nice palate with just the right amount of carbonation.

Mar 9, 2002 could not taste any malt to help add a tad balance to the IPA, huge hoppy head. Disappointing.

Jan 13, 2002 Great balance of hops and malt, most other IPA’s get too carried away with hop bitterness and skimp on the malt, good year round

Jan 1, 2002 This IPA has sweet hoppy aroma with a nice head. As the aroma indicated the beer had a detectable hoppiness--which was quite well balanced.
