4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 Gusler (2654) - Tucson, USA - APR 3, 2005
Draught @ Papago<P>
The beer pours a cloudless deep amber color with a monsterous creamy light tan head that declines slowly leaving a thick and clinging blanket of lace upon the glass. Nose has a marvelous hop floral spiciness with a sweet and somewhat earthy malt aroma, lime like in its crispness, fresh and so inviting it just makes your mouth water in anticipation, start is sweet and delightfully malted with the top middling in its feel to the palate. Finish delicately carbonated with the hops magnificent in their spicy bite, dry long lasting hop laden aftertaste lay easy on the palate, oh how happy we hopheads now that “Dogfish Head” is available in Arizona “Woo Hoo”!
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 burg326 (1113) - Florida, USA - MAY 30, 2012
12 ounce bottle, to me it was a weaker version of the 90 minute IPA, decent overall, but 90 is where it is at.

12oz bottle that’s been in the fridge for a long long time. One finger white head. Rust-colored body. Fair amount of carbonation. Interesting flavor. Starts out with bitterness, but there’s a sweetness that appears all of a sudden. Will have to try a fresher bottle to see if it’s any different. Will rerate if so.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 stoneageradio (254) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 28, 2012
12 oz. Bottle dated 5/04/12, poured 5/28/12. Sweet candy hop scent with a hint of grain. Translucent copper with little head, mostly a white ring. LIghter than medium body with a crisp finish. Taste fronted by grassy hay hop, grain note, and a big bitter finish.

3.6 Bottle pour into shaker glass. This IPA could be used as a standard to compare other IPA’s. Not because it is the best IPA: it doesn’t push the envelope. It has a nice aroma, moderate hoppiness and bitterness. It tastes very good, but it is not complex.

Bottle 355 ml. Clear golden beer with a small white head. Nose is heavy fresh grass, pine and citrus. Taste is citrus and fresh grass with moderate bitterness. Mouthfeel is dry with a medium duration of the aftertaste. Good session beer.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 BeerGolem (97) - - MAY 26, 2012
Pours clear golden. Strange but pelasant grass aroma, along with pine, citrus, and hops. Taste is well balanced between bitterness and some sweet. A little thin. A good, not outstanding IPA.
Robe dorée claire. Étrange et plaisant arôme de gazon, accompagné de pin, d’agrumes et de houblon. Goût bien balancé entre l’amertume et le sucré. Mince en bouche. Une bonne IPA.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 bshep (28) - - MAY 24, 2012
Too much hype behind this. Extremely dry and dull taste. 90 minute IPA is far better.

Delicious IPA. Pours pale amber, clear with a small off-white head that dissipates quickly with good lacing. Extremely citrus/grapefruit aroma, backed by a definite coffee smell. Taste is slightly sweet, with strong citrus notes and a bitter finish.

12oz bottle - pours gold with rich white head. Flavor is caramel, grass and citrus. Taste not as bitter as I expected. This is pretty good. A fruity aftertaste.
