| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 14, 2008 (22 oz. bottle from Kappy’s) Pours lightly hazy rather light golden amber. Three fingers of lumpy off-white head. Aroma is sweet, flowery and fruity with perhaps a hint of caramel. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth and soft, medium heft but a bit pebbly. Fairly heavy webby rings and sheets of lacing. Flavor is bitter and fruity with a bit of an odd vegetal overtone, esp. initially. Medium bitter bite in the fore that overlays and carries through finish. Underlying malty sweetness with hints of bread and caramel. Kind of an odd one, not exactly bad but has a few flaws that make it kind of rough. sloth (1726), Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 7, 2008 Medium sized white head, very good retention and a nice sticky lace. Nose is lemony with fuzzy fruit notes. Body is light, nice carbonation level, lightly oily on the palate. Light caramel malt flavors, fairly dry, lightly toasty with thin citrus flavors, hints of peach and a touch earthy. Dry, light and fruity finish. Bite is unexpected and appreciated. Not a big ass IPA but a nice quaffer. Underhook (162), Lincoln Park, New Jersey, USA

A mildly hoppy aoma with some even milder citrus notes. Flavor was mostly pine-like but had a few sweet malt notes to balance it out. In the end it was a mediocre IPA. Russo (692), Campinas, Brazil
