| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 1, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of Secret Santa. Pours a clear lighter amber color with a small white head that diminishes to a thin layer. The aroma is very fresh citrusy hops, some floral notes, and some moderately sweet toasty malt. The flavor is a nice balance between the moderately sweet caramel malt and the citrus/pine hoppy bitterness. The finish is skewed toward the bitter side with a lingering citrus finish. Medium bodied and easy to drink on a hot summer day. This is a solid IPA. Indulgence (141), Ajo, Arizona, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jul 31, 2008 Updated: Aug 15, 2009Tasted during outage: Another great American IPA with just the right balance of aroma and flavor so as to not conk you over the head with hops, but they’re there to let you know the beer is a serious IPA. Very drinkable, despite the alchohol.
RERATED on 08/15/09... This stuff was super fresh, absolutely killer... the only other IPA that is better is the Yulesmith. Absolutely wonderful pine, grapefruit aromas, crisp, bright, and sublime... color of burnt orange amber, clear... alcohol is hidden very well. It has been over a year since I last tasted this one... and I’m loving it. It’s rare when a beer impresses me even more the 2nd time. jazz88 (2236), San Francisco, California, USA
