| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 22, 2009 Clear Copper pour with a filmy white head. Aroma is citrus hops with a light caramelly maltiness. Flavor is bitter, slightly citrusy hops and a mild tofee maltiness. Not a very fresh bottle and I think it may suffer because of this. radioseer (23), Virginia, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 15, 2009 thicker than a lot of IPAs, this beer tastes malty and hoppy, and is very fruity flowery on the nose. Unfortunately, it tastes stale and far from fresh. Bottle at Total Wine and More, Naples, Florida. Spab (258), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 13, 2009 12 oz bottle. Golden amber pour with a medium off white head. Aroma of hops and sweet sugar. Taste of peppery hops but a lot of malt was also present, almost and IPA/APA hybrid. Nice sharp finish, yet smooth for the ABV. beerfest5 (154), Simsbury, Connecticut, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 12, 2009 The first thing i noticed was that this was more of an APA than an IPA. Brooklyn tried to do sort of a mix between an english IPA and a west coast IPA and came out with a muddled mix of the two. not bad, but you have have to chose one way or another. most west coast IPA drinkers will find this too malty, not enough citrus and pine, and english IPA drinkers will find it too hoppy. renffisch (514), london, Greater London, England
