| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 2, 2008 Lovely honey color, average head, mild lacing, pleasant non floral nose, a bit thin in the palate. Light on bitterness in keeping with its place of creation. Pleasant enough, but somewhat light for my palate. Beerman6686 (1280), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Poured a cloduy orangish yellow color with a white head. Aroma was very malty, much like an english IPA. Flavor was much the same, not so much a bad beer, but for an APA not very balanced tedovertu (260), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Clear gold body with a small head with little to no lacing. Pine/Spruce hoppiness that is not too dry. Light body with an average duration and a light bitterness. Well balanced not as hoppy as most IPA beers. This was very refreshing surprise. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 21, 2008 Pours clear gold with a decent white head. Sharp, peppery hops that actually smell like a thistle. Astringent hop taste, reminiscent of an English IPA, with a decent amount of orange citrus flavors, and a sweeter, honey-malt finish. A pleasant surprise. zappafan99 (462), South Carolina, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 15, 2008 Bottle from BevMo La Mesa. Pours a light copper color with a good sized head that left great lacing. Great piny and citrus hop aroma. Flavor was a bit too malty thus making the beer a bit unbalanced in my opinion. verymerrymonk (256), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Pours a clear orange body with a thin but enduring head. Not what I’d think of as an APA or an IPA, but pretty good. Maybe a bit more balanced and less pungent. Nice. gotohelunc (473), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 8, 2008 Bottle. Clear, light copper color. Big foamy head settles to almost nothing. Thin hoppy nose with some sourness. Flavor’s mildly hoppy, very crisp and dry with a clean finish. Tastes like a nice session APA.
