| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 30, 2003 Cask at the Appaloosa Grill in downtown Denver, owned by Wynkoop. Cascase hop aroma. Slightly murky, with some soft orange colors and a white head. A little thin, lacking the needed carbonation, even for a cask conditioned IPA. some chalcky and stale wheat flavors. Aroma sets it up, but the flavor is a let down. jgb9348 (2502), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 16, 2003 Light amber colour with a thin white head. Served at cellar temperature. A pleasant english hop aroma comes from the beer. In
addition to the hops, there is a bit of sweetness. The taste is almost purely of malt and english hops. Once again this is a tiny bit watery, but not as much as the others. Aftertaste is a subtle malt with prominent english hops. This was most closely related to a bitter, but possibly could be considered an EPA, but definately not an IPA! Overall, better than the average bitter, and one of my favourites from the brewpub. I had this on tap at the brewpub in Denver, Colorado on 12-August-2003. dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 22, 2003 Good IPA, but I was questioning the Imperial part.It wasn't extremely bitter,hoppy or alcoholic,more of a standard West Coast IPA,which is a fine style,but Imperial???

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 8, 2003 gold color, soda head. watery, sweet fruity syrup. only moderate hops. I found this to be absolutely horrid, hardly an IPA. Tasted like a 3.2 Utah beer. poor PBOYNY (316), Westchester, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 10, 2002 nice ipa, very hoppy and fresh,i was impressed with the finish, not too bitter. Aubrey (2777), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 9, 2002 Very sweet-smelling nose. Mouthfeel was smooth as a baby’s bottom; maybe too smooth. Lovely aroma. Malty backbone. Not too bitter at all. Tangy in the middle, with lingering hop flavors in the finish. Tasted a lot like their ESB, only charged-up. jsquire (2107), St. Marys, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 23, 2002 This beer was served at cellar tempature pumped out of the cask. It had a nice, rocky head but not much of a nose, which may have just been the smoker sitting next to me. It drank very smooth with strong citrus flavors like a sweet grapefruit. Nice bitter finish to balance out the flavors.
