| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 26, 2007 12 oz. bottle courtesy of illini08, thanks Jeremy. pours a golden honey in color with a slightly off-white head and pretty decent lacing. aroma is mostly floral hops with some grapefruit noted as well. flavor is more of the same with just enough malt to help add some balance. a rather dry bitter aftertaste that goes well with the floral hop profile. would make for a nice session IPA!

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Jun 25, 2007 12oz best before 8/23/07 - Aroma is a bit off, not sure if that’s the way it’s supposed to be or not. Like wet alfalfa sprouts, play-doh and dust. Pours transparent orange with a small head and good lacing. Flavor pretty much matches aroma. I can taste some hop bitterness, but the overall flavor is not appealing to me at all. rshah16 (39), Illinois, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 23, 2007 12 oz bottle. Wife said this was an ipa but by the aroma on the nose a yeasty bready aroma thought it may be a barleywine. Gold body with white head and decent lacing. Fruity peaches for flavor along with a sweet heavy malt texture. A fruity sweetness lingers on the palate. Glad the wife pick this out for me while on vacation. Man I’m spoiled.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jun 20, 2007 Pours a clear golden amber with a half finger head . Good retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet malts and nice grapefruit hops. Taste is brown sugary malts up front with citrus and pine hops cleaning off the palate. Creamy mouthfeel but not chewy. Excellent IPA! tagz (334), USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 16, 2007 12 oz bottle. this is a nice moderate IPA with a good balance of floral and bitter hops. a nice light sweetness in there as well. a lot of IPAs overwhelm the senses with massive amounts of hops. great lakes uses some restraint with this one and it pays off.
