Bottle Grassy nose. Drank from bottle, but the beer Nor spilled over the table looked good. Light body, pine and grass hop notes.

Bottle at the Syracuse Holiday Brewfest Dec.04 2004. Golden ale, with absolutely no hops in aroma, more malty. Malty and lactic, not too much to write home about.

Bottle Poures a slightly hazy amber with a very large fluffy off-white head. Aroma is a strong hops smell witha little sweet honey. Lightly roasted grain. Flavor is of wood, grass and hops but not so sharp. The malt balances it out I think pretty well. I imagine IPA purists would think it weak but I rather like it. Feel is very smooth, leaving me with a slight bitter remonder at the end.

This beer was unspectacular. Standard ipa qualites were minimized. What did stand out was a positive floral taste. Not much of an ipa, but I will try it again to try to see what the deal is with these flowers I’m tasting.

Pours a amber color with a large white fluffy head. Flavor is of course hops but not as hoppy as most IPA’s. The hops are more present on the aftertaste as it goes down. Middle of the road but would be interesting for those looking to try this style for the first time.

Bottle. Rich amber color with an off-white head that disapears quickly. Aroma of pine, citrus, but not that strong. It's bitter, but with a malt backbone. The problem is that it has too grassy of a flavor. Dry grassy aftertaste, but a nice body.

Appearance: deep orange with a very thick, fluffy head that lasts; lots of lacing. Smell: wow! flowers, apricots, and mangoes is what I was reminded of... a carribean summer day... ahhh. This is the version of the IPA that I enjoy. Taste: Has a nice sweet peach/grapefruit flavor, with a tangy bitter aftertaste. This is really nice! Mouthfeel: nice & smooth Drinkability: this is a nice beer that will make my rotation!

This tastes like the traditional English IPA's might have tasted before they watered them all down. Not at all an unpleasant IPA.

Well, I guess that the aroma is not as much strong, the beer has some light mint character and is not too much impressive.

Light amber color, creamy head. Strong aroma, hoppy, strong hop flowers, mango, apricots, caramel. Smooth, malt and caramel, hoppy fruitness, well mixed with the others. Very good hop fruity final, but shorter than usual. Finally, a good and easy to drink IPA, less aggressive than many others.
