Fine looking hazy orange - copper bear with a proper head. Flavor is balanced, but it could use a little more body. A good, but not outstanding IPA.

Well, I know why it is called Woodstock IPA; it kind of smells like sweaty hippies eating candy. This doesn't really taste like an IPA; it tastes more like a weak barley wine (it kind of looks like one, too). It has a good amount of maltiness, with sweet fruit and roasted nut flavors. There really aren't any hops to speak of, but it is awfully tasty, so I think I can overlook that for this rating. Try the beer, but try to forget the fact that it is supposed to be an IPA, because it most certainly is not.

A great flavoured beer. The flavour was overwhelmed by an oaky taste, and it only makes sense that I find out that its a wood-conditioned beer!

Didn''t like this one. Amber with long lasting head. It had a decent hop nose, but the hop flavor seems kind of off.

2nd tasting: Bright amber with medium fading head. Rich, spicy and slightly citrusy hop aroma. Warming toffee or caramel malt aromas. Generally toffee-sweet malt profile with a light peppery hoppiness and drying finish. Some lingering caramel malt and resiny hop flavors. Round malt sweetness. Nicely balanced and subtle. A classic traditional IPA, and in my opinion one of the most accurate depictions of the original IPA's. 1st tasting: Grassy hop aroma - British hops? Unexpected for a PNW IPA. Woody flavor with more grassy herbal hops and a mild bitterness. Medium body and rather smooth. Unique, interesting, fairly complex and very nice.

This one didn''t exactly light a fire under my ass but it was not a bad IPA. Pours a dark and clear orange color with a medium off-white head and some lacing. Some carbonation is evident. Hoppy and yeasty aroma. There was more malt in the flavor than I like in an IPA, but maybe the oak-aging can account for that.
