| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 7, 2009 Bottle at casino steakhouse in Las Vegas.
Poured clear copper color with an average fizzy off-white head that mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium to full body with a slick texture and flat carbonation. Moderate bittersweet flavor with a moderate to heavy bittersweet finish of medium to long duration.
This is a solid drinkable brew. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 3, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Lots of sweet malts in this one, and subtle hoppiness on the nose. Flavor is also sweet, but a solid bittering hop finish makes this a pretty decent IPA. And it made Jakebra sing. Plamadude30k (122), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 29, 2009 Reddish copper with a yellowish foamy head. Very hoppy with a great backing of grapefruit, making it rather bitter. I find it is more enjoyable very cold and in a cold glass. Beardface (984), Eugene, Oregon, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 19, 2009 Pours a hazy orange color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma is pretty much evenly matched between caramel and a very nice grapefruit hop note. Hoppy flavoring with a nice citrus presence and very little malt. Tasty little brew, very easy going for a west coast IPA. sebletitje (1903), Tampa, Florida, USA

pours copper with tan / beige head with some excellent lacing.
Aroma has a good kick of floral hops, and slight fruity undertones.
Taste is hoppy with light bitter finish and notes of fruits - grapefruit / strawberry.
Leaves a nice velvety, almost syrupy lingering feel. Overall, a well balanced beer with nice use of light caramel malts. WISEGUY572 (1245), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 14, 2009 I’m a sucker for heavily hopped American IPA and this one is in my favorite style. Heavily hopped in the nose and the taste, with a long bitter finish. Hops are bitter and citric, like a serious slam of grapefruit rind. Balanced with sweet malts. Reminds me of a Double Dead Guy, but with bonus points for being what is now considered low-to-moderate alcohol levels in a super-bitter IPA. fredandboboflo (1404), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 9, 2009 Bottle, seemingly a bit old. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, mango, melon, caramelized brown sugar. Flavor shows the hops a bit more with the mango and some fruity, berry qualities. A bit harsh on the tongue. Some good qualities, some less.
