| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 12, 2009 Can. Pours orange gold with huge, fluffy ivory head. The aroma is sticky pine and a refreshingly tart citrus. The flavor is lightly orange with some pine and honey. There’s a nice assertive bitterness to it, but it’s pretty smooth and balanced out by the mild sweetness. There’s a note of toast there at the finish, and a dry aftertaste. Quite refreshing.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 9, 2009 THE best canned IPA ever! Better than Gordon! Better than BFOD! Better than DPA! It just works! Nice soapy head, on a copper pour. Fresh and floral. Lots of grapefruity notes. Finish is bitter, but clean. Hophead22 (1088), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA

Pretty good head retention, sort of a dirty white color with a decent lace. Smells good, lots of pine, sort of a metallic aroma hidden underneath, very faint, but it’s there. Big blast of bitter hops right up front, it lingers for a bit. Good IPA. (970) leaparsons (4721), Leicester, Leicestershire, England

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 2, 2009 Can. Pours with a creamy bone colored head over a just slightly hazed harvest orange body. Aroma is nice and hoppy, pine, and grassy/spicy. Taste is herbal, grainy (nearly astringent), and grassy. Decently bitter. Not as nice of a hop profile or presence as the aroma. Lightly soapy. Light bubbles, water like viscosity. Decent.
