| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 19, 2009 An amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is plainly sweet malty. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and hops, leading to a dry bitter finish. robinvboyer (1428), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 25, 2009 citrucy hops, with some odd odor, smells like sulfur. Flavor is light, and fruity. lots of nice hops, and this is really quite bitter. There is some more sulfur in the finish, might be an off bottle. arrogantb (700), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 18, 2009 I always seem to enjoy Full Sail’s reserve offerings and the prices can’t be beat. I’m not sure if this is the same as Son of Spot but re-branded or what. nice light orange color. It smells slightly like grassy hops but nothing strong. The flavor is a nice balanced IPA with the only prominent hop feature being a grassy bitterness. I did not find this to be nearly as hoppy as some of the other reviewers here. Overall, a decent IPA but most likely will disappoint the real hop heads.

Pours copper with an initially big foamy head that diminishes to a ring around the glass. Good lacing. Aroma is pine and grainy malt. Has an odd aroma in the background that I couldn’t place. Flavor is bitter hops with malt balancing in the end. Decent brew. Nalu (33), Washington, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 22, 2009 Clear orange-brown. Short tan head with dense lace. Full, round mouth feel, very smooth with a British balance. Malty but not sweet nose which quickly transitions to a hoppy middle and finish. Cask ale! dwyerpg (2529), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 1/5 | 10/20 | Jan 2, 2009 A nice citrus hop aroma. This has quite a strong hop bite to it. An overly bitter finish without a lot of flavor. A metallic bitter. The longer I drink this the less I like it. KimJohansen (6921), Copenhagen V, Denmark
