| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 2, 2008 An over-bitter simple IPA. Has a great malt with interesting hop flavor. A little thin, and not enough hop flavor for the bitterness. New and improved label since the picture was taken. spikester (602), Salem, Oregon, USA

Pours a clear copper amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a thin off-white ring and film top. Aroma of sweet grapefruit zest, some biscuit malt, and a touch of apricots and herbs. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of multi-grain and biscuit malt, extra grapefruit zest and citrus hops, and a hint of toffee. Finish has a sharp bitter finish that slowly disappears in the aftertaste. Average IPA overall but qite good. ratman197 (3187), Arvada, Colorado, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 3, 2008 Bottle. Clear deep golden. Aroma of mango and grapefruit. Dry with clean but bold mouthfeel. There are juicy hops, but it ends with ashy bitterness. A good, solid beer, but nothing that stands out amongst the IPAs in the PNW. PilsnerPeter (2612), Flushing, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 1, 2008 Tap at Barcade: Slightly hazy orange with a creamy strong head. Citrusy aroma. Not at all assertive, with a touch of orange and underlying biscuit-like malt. Light fluffy feel. Hop profile leans toward orangey citrus and some grassy bitterness. Has a touch of biscuit in the back. Good profile, it’s just a bit simple. carruthm (1124), Seattle, Washington, USA
