A - very faint hop not much else a little disappointing
A -amber in color with a hint of red. nice tight 1" head. Stayed together, you can make a peak. good rings of lace as I sip in down
T - sweet start with a nice light bitter finish. tastes a little oxidized but overall pretty good. I was expecting a little more.
P - medium to thin, carbonation is tight but disapates really fast.
O - nicely balanced flavor and easily drinkable Chalsk (63), North Caldwell, New Jersey, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 7, 2010 Pours an amber-orange haze, some life, with a thin head. Aroma of pine, citrus, and some hints of floral bouquet. A creamy IPA, with sweet up front, bitter on the back end. A bitter, malty finish. A nice IPA, if you enjoy the creamier variety. savnac (497), Palmer, Alaska, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 4, 2010 12 oz bottle. Pours hazy golden/amber with a medium whitish head. Aroma of citrus, and pine hops with lots of cereal grain scents. The flavor is very malty without being too sweet and plenty of fruity hop flavors. Medium body with average IPA carbonation and a long dry bitter finish. I noticed that the beer was about 5 months old when I got it home and I think the hops have faded a bit. I’ll definitely be on the look out for some fresh stuff. kromamc (117), Italy

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 1, 2010 Sample poured from a bottle at Cincy Beerfest. I had a decent amount of IPAs there, but most were just so-so. This one finally gave me an impressive one. Pours a clear orange-gold color with an inch-thick frothy white head. Aroma of citrus, pine and floral hops, grass, honey, and perfume. Flavor of orange and grapefruit citrus, pine hops, grass, caramel malts, and resin. Straightforward and effective. Medium bodied, with active carbonation and a bitter, resinous finish. Very good IPA. jimmythechippy (64), , Australia

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 28, 2010 12 OZ bottle, Pours a dark golden with a genorous head that lived on the glass. Strong hops aroma evident from the pour to the last swallow. Pine and citrus notes throoughout, perhaps too much (in fariness this bottle was eight months old and no record of how and where it was stored). Fairly good balance of sweet malt and crisp hops. keith0718 (184), Olathe, Kansas, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jan 25, 2010 Smells absolutely gorgeous--of lemony, flowery hops. A sight to behold as well--small bubbles produce a creamy, lingering head, which laces beautifully. Tastes of lemony hops over a nice malty foundation. My new session beer.
