3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Extremely clear, light copperish appearance, decent head formation. Strong hoppy aroma, fruit punch an citrus. Sweet lemony flavor at first, mild shortbread notes but really not a lot of malt. Orangey sweetness with a strong citiric bite in the finish, with a long lingering bitterness.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a medium copper color with a nice full white head. Smells of pine needles and citrus. Tastes citrusy, with a grapefruit prominence. Very similar to stone ipa and bells two hearted ale, yet lacking in the bite that those 2 have. Overall, an excellent ipa.

Bottled. Medium golden color upon pouring. Forest like piney aroma. Lots of bitterness. Piney bitterness up front. Quite spicy as well. Some citric qualities are present. A rather bitter finish.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 6, 2005 Large white head. Frothy on top with good carbonation. Nice lacing. Great aroma. Very fruity hops with a excellent mix of peaches and pears. Could sit here and smell it all night. But what fun would that be. Color is a medium golden orange. Light bodied. Crisp and smooth with a great balance. Plenty of hops in there. Bitterness shows up at the finish and lingers for a while. More fruit in the flavor. Very easy drinking. An excellent IPA.

smells of crisp grassy hopps.. a very refreshing smell. pours a nice golden color w lots of carb bubbles and a nice thick white head. The palate is fairly light w/ a good amount of carbonation. The flavor is very hoppy w/ a bitter aftertaste.. definatelly not my style.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught. HUGE hoppy aroma, spruce and pine. That carried into the flavour, but a little lighter. The hop tastes were more citrus hops and easy to drink. Pretty nice lacing. Well balanced IPA.

Bottle: Pours a translucent golden with a huge, frothy white head. Tons of lacing. Aroma is mostly citrus hops and grapefruit. Taste is Sweet malt up front with more citrus hops and some floral hops in the tail. Crisp and dry finish.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a bright, but cloudy orange colour- head is fairly large- white and floral. Nice citrusy character, soft and piney but typicaly hopped. My only complaint about this brew is- there’s nothing exciting about it. Pretty standard for the most part. Nothing unique, lots of hops and fruit but basic overall.
