| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Aug 25, 2009 Pours copper with a small white head, a bit of yeast, don’t remember if there was lace. Nose is yeast, big malt, citrus and pine hops. Taste is big malt, and minor hop finish. Didn’t expect this much malt in an IPA, that wasn’t classified as a belgian ipa. Medium bodied, normal carbonation, smooth texture. Quite sessionable btw.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Bottle. Cloudy amber body. Off-white, frothy head, slowly diminishing. Aroma of sweet pineapple, orange, citrus, grapefruit and flowers with hints of caramel, The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately. bitter. Medium body, watery/velvet texture and lively carbonation. Sweeter than many American IPAs, but quite good. Hops are bright enough to stand up to the sweet, malty backbone, but not bold enough to scrape your tongue. Very enjoyable. cbkschubert (2031), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA
