3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 seekingup2 (80) - - DEC 13, 2011
12oz bottle. Not a bad IPA. Very light bitter hop flavor from aroma to taste to finish. I wont go running back to get another one, but its very drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange color with a small white head. Nose is sweet toasty and biscuity malt with fruity hop notes like apricots. Palate is full, lively and finishes thick with a sticky tongue. Flavors of fruity hops, biscuit malts, and a dryness.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 roytheboy (7) - British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 6, 2011 does not count
1 pint 6 oz. bottle - pours light gold, slightly cloudy, short, light head. Complex aroma - malt, apple, mild citrus, hop, grass, pine. I taste apple, malt, artificial cherry, citrus and tarragon. Finish is fruity (mainly apple) followed by a nice lingering bitter. Unique and highly recommended.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 svandyke (61) - USA - NOV 23, 2011
Bottle- Pours a cloudy golden color with little head. Faint hoppy aroma with a hint of fruit behind it. Little carmal on the inital taste, with the expected IPA hoppiness. No really hoppy bite. More aroma hops and bitttering hops would help this beer a lot; very lackluster.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 rangerred (335) - Johnson City, Tennessee, USA - NOV 22, 2011
Appearance is a hazy light gold with a one finger head. The head is quick to fade but leaves decent lacing.
Smell is not all that impressive. There are some citrusy notes along with some orange/tangerine sweet scents but nothing is very strong or stands out significantly.
The taste is rather interesting. It starts off with a nice fruity sweetness that I associate with stronger ipa’s but this soon fades and is replaced by a biscuity maltiness. Finally there are some slight citrusy hop notes. A decent bitterness pervades throughout.
Overall, I think this is a pretty good beer but one that definitely should be enjoyed fresh. This bottle is best by Nov. 30 so not as fresh as it should be. I really think if I had this fresh, those hop flavors would make this beer excellent.

4.6 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20 philtom15 (26) - Kansas, USA - NOV 17, 2011
A great version of a classic west coast IPA, The citrus flavor really comes through on this IPA, not the bitter piney textures found in English IPA’s. Very easy drinking beer makes a nice session beer. Found this in bottles at Craft Wine and Beer, Total Wine, Wholefoods, and Ben’s.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 yumyum (185) - barrie, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 14, 2011
pours pale straw color. Subtle nose for an ipa, some hops, citrus notes. Citrus really comes out in the taste with grapefruit like flavours. A light bodied, easy drinking brew. a decent offering but not one of my top ipa’s
