Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

I didn't care much for the one. Pretty light in color. Not much malt in the flavor not much "pine" not much "citrus". I am going to guess that it is more of an English style IPA, but even at that its not too good. Bitterness without much flavor.
UPDATED: OCT 21, 2007 Hazy amber color with a humongous rocky head. Nose is sweet with a floral hint. Barleywine like sweet start followed by a sharp hop bite. Light lemom/citrus aftertaste. Not quite so bitter if very cold.
This was a very, very weak interpretation on the IPA. Tasted more like a plain lager with a little hop extract added. Nothing special here.
