| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 6, 2010 Orangey golden body with short but mainly lasting head. Fruity citrus notes and sweet malts on the nose. Taste is the same with the sweetness not as upfront, smooth mouthfeel and enough carbonation. BarossaLuke (139), Australia
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Feb 3, 2010 Light amber in colour. Good fruity/piney/citrus hop aroma with hints of caramel. Medium bodied with good malt flabour and well balanced bitterness, but leaning toward the bitter side. Has a good clean, dry finish with lasting hop flavour. My first beer from Southern Tier and a very good beer it is too. Thank God more good US beer are making their way here to Australia! gracefullypunk (423), Washington, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 1/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 28, 2010 Bottle from LCBO. I’m a from the bottle guy so can’t comment on appearance. The aroma is nice and hoppy on the floral/citrus side of things. The palate is a bit fizzy in the front of the mouth, but finishes nicely smooth, with some lingering bitterness and alcohol. The taste is slightly sweet for an IPA, but the bitterness of a well hopped ale shines through. Overall a really nice representation of the style. nate2g (1168), Brisbane, Australia
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 26, 2010 Bottle. Pours golden with a medium white head. On the nose there’s floral notes with an herbaceous overtone as well. The flavour is mint, citrus and caramel malt. Smooth and bitter, nicely balanced. This is one extremely moreish IPA. Good stuff. hatchattack (56), Virginia, USA

Appearance : Clear pale amber with a medium head. Extensive lacing. Nice looking !
Aroma : Nose hoppy, citrus, grapefruits and earthy. Some malt sweetness.
Taste : Malty and hoppy and fruity. Hops are citrusy and resinous.
Finish : Hoppy and malty. Bitterness is quite present. Some alcohol also. Finish a bit warm which is a bit surprising for such a low alcohol content.
Overall : Nice easy drinking well hopped brew. Nothing really stands out though. Well made, drinkable...just good !
