Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

On cask at Blind Tiger. Pours a cloudy brown with a bubbly white head. Aroma is very fruity with citrus hops lingering in the background. Also smells like red grape juice. Flavor is less fruity initially as the aroma with more hop bitterness. A very odd IPA- I got roasted malts, soda, apples, raisin, and alcohol. Ive never had this beer befor
Bottle courtesy of GMCC2181. Pours a clear dark amber with 2 finger beige head. Nose is sweet malt and mild hops. Taste is caramel malt upfront with a mild bitter hop finish not citrus or pine just bitter. Smooth, medium mouth feel. Decent, drinkable IPA. Thanks G-Money!
Pours sort of amber with a long lasting head. Smells and tastes of hops, but definitely not too strong, as some other IPAs. I would definitely recommend this beer to any hop lover.
