| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 23, 2008 12oz. bottle with thanks to EinWeizenbitte from over on BA for the great bonus. Pours a hazy golden with a slight orange tint, a one finger creamy white head, and moderate retention and lacing. Aroma is nice and piney, with some light citrus and caramel in there as well. Flavor is also pine, light citrus and caramel. This is a well done crisp and refreshing IPA, and would definitely pickup from time to time if it was available locally. Thanks again Todd! can8ianben (903), Pasadena, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 21, 2008 Deliciously hoppy offering. Lovely warm pine hoppy notes in the aroma, subtle richness to the malt backing on the palate. A very tasty IPA - almost chewy in its hoppiness. jcwattsrugger (5252), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 13, 2008 This has a great citrus hop aroma. The flavor has a great up front hop bite. The bitterness continues and leaves a nice tingly bite in your mouth. Good stuff. BOLTZ7555 (1080), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 11, 2008 Bottle acquired via Sparky27...Eric ROCKS. This bottle a bit past its prime but I know Eric drove 50 plus miles to get it...appreciate the effort. You can definitely tell, even with age, that this is a well put together brew. The aggressive pine and citrus have turned to caramel, honey, and sweet malt. Copper colored body produces a nice half inch off white head. Can only imagine how good this is when fresh. Highly drinkable, even now. puzzl (2619), New York, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 9, 2008 Bottled. Very bitter aroma, hoppy obviously, grapefruit, lemon, peach. Kind of sweet flavor with more in the way of bitter hops than good hop flavors. Lacking any kind of finish, and a bit fishy tasting. A lot of hops for sure, but a fairly weak example overall. willblake (2174), Belcamp, Maryland, USA

Very thin bodied. One dimensional hops but it is a nice dimension. Quenching but plain. golubj (1286), Sunnyvale, California, USA
