A nice, balanced IPA with moderate cirtus and grassy aromas and flavors. Easy to drink, quite average IPA, but still has a pretty good overall flavor. AndyReynolds (281), Wilder, Kentucky, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Oct 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice amber with a thin white head, good lacing. Aroma is grassy hops and sweet malts. Notes of floral hops, citrus, and a bit of pine stand out. On the palate it is a little light. The flavor brings out the citrus (grapefruit) and it finishes nice and bitter. A good, well balanced IPA. ElDuderino (141), Roslindale, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 12, 2009 On tap, golden pale body with a thin tight pure white head. Looks almost muted. The nose is very clean and mild with some citrus notes and light sweet malts. The Flavor is understated with decent hoppy bitterness that leans more towards grassy rather than piney. Nice dry finish, really a well rounded brew. papajohn (1054), San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA

Aroma is light citrus and pine. Flavor starts with a sharp grapefruit bitterness followed by a little tropical fruit and a sharp, dry orange rind finish. Light body, lively carbonation. matta (1138), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 5, 2009 Pours a hazy copper body with golden edges and a luscious ivory head. The aroma is spicy, peppery, hints of cedar wood. Suggestions of ripened red apple, black pepper corns, wet straw, grapefruit zest, pineapple, and apricots. I really dig this beer!! It is a wonderful change from the American IPA; I have become exceedingly accustom too. Hints of a sour dough bread yeast, and some rye spicyness… Do they use rye in this beer? A wonderful caramel malt and spicy bitter finish… A rather memorable brew for me! jfm (1695), Holbæk, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 2, 2009 This is ok, but one-dimensional and overly bitter.
It’s slightly cloudy dark gold with a mdeum off-white head that slowly thins to a thin foam and a little weak lace.
The aroms is feremented pear and apple with a little grain, lemon, grapefruit and yeast.
The flavour is spicey-bitter lemon and grapefruit with a lightly fruity-doughy sweetness, sone yeast. The sharp, astringent bitterness, spicey and citrusy, sooon runs amok and dominates the character, making it a little sharp and rough while being somewhat bland.
