Aroma of hops, citrus, and slight grapefruit. A light to medium body with a taste of hops and a strong bitterness and dryness on the back end along with a funky taste. A little weak for an IPA.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 9, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Amber color with a thin off - white head. Mild smell of grapefruit and piney hops. Medium body with light carbonation. Flavor is almost all grapefruit and flowery hops here. A slight taste of caramel sweetness is beaten down by the big hop flavors.
A long finish is all bitter hops.
Not a favorite of mine but not bad, either.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 30, 2007 Bottle from kenb, I believe. Pretty nice IPA, although nothing stood out here. Fairly hoppy and clean tasting, but it lacked some freshness. Probably should have been consumed a couple months ago. pepsican (885), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 24, 2007 poured a slightly cloudy amber with a thick white head. Aroma has a bit of hops, malt, and an alley. Flavor is similar with citrus added. Almost has a skunked flavor. Creamy and slightly bittersweet. Decent but odd for an IPA. robinvboyer (1428), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 21, 2007 Light hoppy aroma, some slight pine notes. the flavour is VERY well balanced between the hops, and the malt. One of themore balanced IPA’s i’ve had. I’m more of a hop bomb IPA fan.but this is extremely drinkable, dangerous even. jerc (3888), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 4, 2007 Bottle. Ratebeer Christmas in Oshawa, December 2007. Golden orange body with a small white head. Moderate hoppy aroma with light resin and citrus is a very nice change of pace for the evening. Flavour has an odd overall impression, something different about
the resin, and grapefruit notes that are just a bit astringent. Average palate.
