| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 27, 2009 Canned, hurrah! Pours a pink tinged copper with a quickly thinning offwhite head. The nose is full of hops. Floral to tropical fruit/pineapple. Plenty of malt, a little hoppy astringency, maybe a touch of alcohol. Citrus, Creamy to medium body with higher average carbonation. The flavor is on par with the nose. Rather hoppy, perhaps slightly astringent. Very citrus and pine. Malt is just enough to bring it into some slight balance, but still overpowered. Long lingering grapefruit and light toast. I’m a fan. joeyplush (337), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 27, 2009 Clear coppy color with off white head. Unique aroma - very grassy, with some underlying citrus and malt. Taste is more citrusy but with a malty balance in the finish. Slight grapefruit bite in the finish but not at all bitter - this is a very solid beer. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA

Very clear copper amber body with a medium creamy off-white head. Big citrus and floral hop aroma. Big floral hop flavor with some nutty and caramel notes. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 10, 2009 12 oz can. Clear amber with a thick white head - a pretty pour. Nose is grassy, floral and a bit citrusy. Excellent sheetlike lace. Flavor is very dry, bitter grapefruit rind backed by a biscuity, bready maltinesss. An odd, earthy sweetness comes through late, then some tannic qualities emerge in the finish. A nice drinker! ben4321 (994), Rockville, Maryland, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 25, 2009 Dry, aromatic, and bitter. The hops are really fresh tasting a subtle malt backbone kicks in at mid-palate. Wow this is very dry This certainly has the makings of a go to camping beer for sure.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Feb 24, 2009 A trippy can that looks like its from 60/70’s... Poured into a pint glass, nice head, very light red in color. Nice nose, light grass, citrus and pine. Taste has a sharp bitterness to it. Piney and grassy hops. Its a little thin on texture. Dry and a it does have a litte metalic taste to it. Definetly could use some more malts but overall a decent ipa... Thanks robert for sharing
