2003 Batch:
Dark amber in colour, thin off-white head. Strong hop aroma with a bit of sweetness. Medium-bodied; Strong hop flavour, very potent, but turning sweet. Sweet aftertaste, a bit of malt and hardly any hop bitterness. Overall, a very nice IPA served by a cask at proper tmperature and consistency. The beer shows complexity and is fairly good...especially for a local! I had this pint served from a cask at the Old Toad in Rochester, New York sampled on 15-September-2003.
