Bottle. Golden amber beer with a decent white head. Citrus and pine aroma. Big pine/grapefruit flavor. Lingering bitterness. Malt is there, but the bodu is slightly lighter that many other beers of this type. Nice hop tingling.

Medium amber with a nice-sized head. Smells more malty than hoppy, but it’s clean and crisp. Taste is super-hoppy with only a slight grapefruit and pine flavor. Great mouthfeel!

Deep gold large lasting white head.Grainy malt nose.Slightly sweet malt start, turning into an odd bitter rather unpleasant finish with noticeable alcohol heat. Unbalanced. Great lace. A brewery I like, but a beer I don’t

Bottle. Rich amber colored ale with a light beige head. Aroma of pine tar and a bit of grapefruit. Smooth pine tar flavor with some sweetness. Easy to drink and well balanced. There’s a lingering bitterness, but part way through the bottle it just ends. Hides alcohol - would not have guessed it was 7.7

03-04 bottle (not sure). Good deep mahogany brown color, very dark, which shows ruby/garnet when held to the light. Big foamy light mocha colored head. Unfortunately it’s quite filtered, lightly transluscent, bordering on transparent. Aroma has lots of chocolate, some light alcohol, a bit of dry nuttiness, dry roast coffee and some mustiness. Flavor is smooth and chocolatey, with only moderate amounts of coffee, and a dry roast that is not heavily bitter. No oiliness, mostly creamy and soft, though not rich. Finish has some dry nuttiness on it, along with a nice lightly spicy hops flavor, that is quite apparent. Pretty good flavors overall, but as it warms, it gets quite thin (and it only starts off with a medium body). Wateriness and thinning flavor are its biggest problems, to be expected from the heavy filtration. Still, a good enough flavor, just on the lighter side. Reminds me of Bert Grants Imp. Stout.

Damn good IPA. Loaded with hops- not much of a flavor outside of the hops- and sometimes it works, somethines it doesn’t- this time it does.

Good IPA!!! This lacked any corn flavor which is characteristic of a cream ale. Nice hoppy IPA with a huge creamy head. Malt and hops in the nose and a well balanced flavor that finishes with a bitter touch. Cream Ale?? Where???

Clear amber/copper coloured body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of hops, pit fruit, malt and some subtle spices. Medium to Full-bodied; Spicey taste up front with some hops noticeable and a good malt backbone. Aftertaste shows some malt and alcohol, but little else. Overall, a good beer-definately one to try! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia and sampled it on 26-May-2004.

Hazy amber,dense beige head.Light malt nose. Malt flavor has an unpleasant bitterness not from hops.

Golden-bronze colour. Caramel and slight toast aroma. Very malty, but not overly sweet.
