jmcgavin12 (162) - Madison, USA - MAY 1, 2013
Pours clear amber with a medium head. Overall lots of caramell and sweetness on the nose and not nearly as much hop as I would expect from an IPA. If its going for the sweet over the bitter it acheived it, but otherwise way too much sweetness

ajnepple (465) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - APR 24, 2013
12 oz bottle from Wilbur’s. Copper color with a light tan head and patchy lacing. The aroma is earthy bitter hops and sweet caramel malts. Medium body with a crisp slightly dry feel. Bittersweet flavor, toasty malts, bitter resinous hops. It was alright.

csaso (934) - Missouri, USA - APR 19, 2013
Bottle - fair size foamy head, medium orange copper color, good size grapefruit and piney hop aroma and flavor with a sweet malt backbone - not too bad overall actually, better than expected

Suttree (4447) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - APR 15, 2013
Well, for starters, this actually seemed like an actual IPA, not some lame-ass bitter marketed as one (Newcastle, I’m lookin’ at you here). Some caramel, some grassy, woody hops. Nicely crisp finish.

tonyth1965 (30) - Illinois, USA - APR 7, 2013
Pours a nice amber, with a off-white soapy head. Good hoppy citrus aroma. Taste is hop-dominant, but has good English-like malt undertones, which makes the finish slightly sweet. Hard to drink just one.

rayy (30) - Ohio, USA - APR 4, 2013
Deep gold to amber. Not much aroma--kind of flinty. Quite bitter & hoppy for a Budweiser product. I would guess IBU’s are 45 or higher--the bitterness is a bit harsh. Some English character, but a bit disappointing there. Bass yeast character is there. Some floral hops, but more of a resiny, sprucey hop character.

Palidor19 (2724) - Brandon, Florida, USA - MAR 28, 2013
Has a nice creamy head with a bit of nice caramel malts, it's hops are the grassy kind. Quite smooth but not that special ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Really smooth IPA. American brewed version with dry english attributes. Nice and drinkable, slightly hoppier than the original.
