3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at the brewery: poured dark amber with a thin wisp of a head. Cold. Moderate hop aroma, slight brown sugar. No citrus or piney hop flavor. Mild bitterness in the finish. Good but I wonder where the juiciness is.

Pours light amber with a light tan head. Aroma of fruity caramel and toasted malts. Taste is grapefruit, citrus, pine hop resins, and a bit of bubble gum fruitiness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with only a slight amount of resinous qualities. Enjoyable IPA.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: MAY 4, 2006 On tap: Pours a deep amber color with a medium size off-white head that diminishes but laces my pint glass very well. The floral hoppy aroma is well balanced with hints of grass, barley and grapefruit. Flavor has a grapefruit type of bitterness in the finish. This is an amazing IPA that has a WOW factor! Very flavorful and doesn’t have an overpowering hoppy finish like other IPA’s. My favorite IPA to date!
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at brewpub. Poured a deep clear amber with an average white head that diminished slowly and had good lacing. Moderate balanced hoppy aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Very good well balanced hop and malt flavor with a solid smooth bitter finish of medium duration. Well worth the visit to drink this brew.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at Knoxville Brewer’s Jam: Poured a copper color with a thick white head that left great lacing. Smells of grapefruit citrus and hints of grass. Nice hoppy IPA flavor with citrus and flowers standing out. Light body with bitterness throughout.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Knoxville Brewers’ Jam). Pours copper with off-white head. The aroma is citrusy hops and some cedar. Toasty malted barley is way more present than I expect from IPAs, and that is good. There is also some zest and, of course, fruity hops. I like it.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft - WOW! I’m stunned. This is easily the best beer that I’ve had from this brewery. Brownish-red in color with a white head. A bunch of grassy hops in the arom and even more n the flavor. This is a really fine IPA!
