4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
One of the better IPA's that I have had. Very nice balance of flavors with a nice hoppy taste.

This is the only beer I drink. I use to drink Sam Adams but after I tasted This IPA I cannot tolerate anything else. I have tried all the FireStation 5 beers but this is the only one I like. I have gratiously let others sample my stash but I don’t think they get it. The only problem is getting my trash bin up in my truck every other week for the trash guy. Wish they made it in Kegs or cans!
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
22oz bottle. Pours clear amber in color with white head. Aroma of citrus hops and malt. Taste bitter grapefruit hops with bitter finish. This is very good every day IPA, surprising the low ratings for this one.

Doesn’t smell sour at all, smells hoppy and malty. It’s also an attractive color. Quite bitter finish, kinda wakes you up a little if you aren’t expecting it. I can taste malt, but for the most part, all I can taste is the flavor of the hops. I like that, but it doesn’t seem particularly balanced. B+

This aromatic, hazzy copper ale is, suprisingly, the smoothest IPA I’ve ever had out of a bottle.
If you’re like me and usually avoid the hop-fest that is a typical IPA, you could do worse than this beer.

I like it ;). In my opinion a good level between price, avalibility and quality.

Found a sixer of these in Paducah a few weeks ago. Nice looking, with a mildly hazed orange body and a small offwhite head that lays down some nice lacing. Grassy hops and pine resin to the nose. Light medium body is well carbonated. Brash dry hops are somewhat grassy and quash any suggestion of a serious malt presence. Pine cone and fresh hay notes also lurk. Pretty decent for style but nothing special.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Found this on sale at Longs [drugs] no less! Always on the look out for a new IPA to try, and the discount price NEVER hurts.
Had several of them back then, gave at least one away, figured its time to have the last one, and give it a review.
Poured a nice pale ale golden amber. Aroma was surprisingly good. Some lace down the sides. Creamy head.
Nice IPA, citrus hoppy flavors, a little watery mouth-feel, but for the price, man i can hardly complain! If my local mini-mart carried this, I’d buy it regular for a standard stock

The Dan Journal #382. Tasted 8/4/10. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a dark golden amber hue. Off white ring and moldy head. Aromas of bright citrus candy. solid nose! Nice and full bodied with a good dose of hops. Tasty with a tingling effervescence. Mildly sticky and bitter finish. Subtle tea like quality. But a solid IPA overall!

Cloudy golden color with a small beige head. Aroma and flavor of pine and floral hops with some sweetness. A little watery but still pretty decent.
