Good but not up there with Buckeye 76, Dogfish Head 60 or 90 minute, Victory HopDevil or Bells IPA (or their suspiciously similar Two Hearted).

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Sep 12, 2005 GCBF. Pours a cloudy orange/gold with a delicate lace. Aromas of fresh grapefruit, peaches. Tastes of grapfruit and peach with a good malt balance. A fine I.P.A. 11026 (1799), Alabama, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 12, 2005 Bottle. Medium amber in color with a moderate amount of opacity. Smallish white head forms and lingers as a ring and slight layer over the liquid leaving very fine lacing behind. Aroma is nicely malty with caramel being predominant and a more subdued earthy/floral hop component. Medium bodied. Adequate carbonation. Taste is well balanced with a nice caramel malt presence up front and a more than adequate earthy hop balance that kicks in midway. Slightly creamy feel. Hop bitterness last for a bit but never becomes overwhelming or dominant. Quite nice. MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Sep 8, 2005 Hazy gold. Nose somewhat citric and hoppy, a few malts, but very little is going on here. Flavor is somewhat sweet, then some citrus, a bit of fruit. Sour at the end, a bit off. Dry and astringent. Not good. JoshuaB (422), Detroit, Michigan, USA
