Good beer, nothing special...no excessive hops. In fact, I would classify this as a Pale Ale, not even an IPA. I wouldn''t drink this again if a good IPA was offered from the pub!

Too much hoppiness and not nearly enough maltiness. This beer is watery, with a mostly uninteresting flavor. It tastes like they took their IPA and mixed a little bit of someone else''s oktoberfest into it.

This has a wonderful, floral aroma and amber color. However, it is a tad on the bland side for an IPA. The hops don't sing as much as I would like in an IPA either. But, all this aside, it is a good overall beer.

Wonderful bitter hop taste that plays on the palate and warms the mouth. Finishes crisp, maybe a bit too watery. must try again.

2002 bottlebetter than i expected. Light, very light. gold kolsch, i had this when i had Sierra SummerFest. it didnt stand up, but maybe a better choice for the casual drinker. Grassy and clean. 2003 draft in boston Well this certainly was alot better than the bottle I tried last year in Rochester. Initial taste is sharp with some sour hops/yeast flavor that adds a meaty punch up front and was very pleasant. The beer finished off even and had some sweet and yeasty notes throughout. The body stood up well and did not thin out.

this started out great. . . but then went no where. it has almost no body. just a nice fruity, hoppy nose that peters off leaving me thinking. why didnt they finish making this beer? MORE MORE MORE, thats all it needed.

Orangey-amber; Aroma shows orange, cinnamon, heavy nutmeg. Palate is again heavy on the nutmeg, but there is enough malt there to hold it up. Good, full body, spicy finish. Nothing spectacular, but a solid winter seasonal.

Light brown, bright appearance; toast, chocolate, toffee on the nose; slightly copper-tasting palate w/toffeeish malts and subtle chestnut, but finishing somewhat wet.

Dark yellowish color, big sturdy white head. Nice yet mild almost floral hop aroma. Flavor mildly sweet and somewhat fruity in an Englishy way, with American hop flavors, and medium bitterness. Easy drinking.
