3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUN 25, 2008 like chewin on a sugar coated pine cone.
(yes i know). super hoppy and really too sweet. out of balance but strangely drinkable6/4/6/3/13 is equal to 3.2
re-rate on tap @ papago... hazed brownish gold with a foamy white head and rings of pillowy lacing. aromas of pine, citrus and grapefruit pith stand out in front of grainy sweetness. the flavor is caramel-y grain sweetness... sugar added as a last ditch effort to balance it out and make sense of it?.... tastes like a sugary pine cone mixed with the bitterness from grapefruit. it’s certainly hoppy... it’s sweet and bitter but not necessarily dry. that’s what makes it weird for me... 8/4/6/3/13 is equal to 3.4

LIght amber, tight white head with nice lace. Deep malt and deep malt on the nose. Thick malt with hops almost "hot" on the tongue.Bitter, but enticing hop finish. Wow.

Pours with an orange hue. Most of the hops are in for the full boil with a bittering which comes through well as well as lean on flavor time hopping. A bit of citrus still comes through, but a nice, crisp balance of bittering and malt and a touch of grapefruit. Very crisp, very clean tasting and well built, it goes down very easily.

Aroma of citrus and pine. Pours an orange-amber color with a nice white head. Taste is very hoppy with citrus and pine. Very good IPA.

Nice surprise - a good, hoppy IPA with tons of flavor. The aroma was - shall I say - reminiscent of fresh marijuana bud. Strange, I know. But true. Deep, golden color; cream-colored head. Threw a lot of sediment. Pine- herb taste, very refreshing. Heavy body leaves an almost sticky mouth feel. Very good IPA.

Not sure why this beer is classified as an IPA because it is not. Extremely mild on hops. Goes down like a lager. But, if you are not expecting an IPA or don’t like hops, it is actually a good beer that goes down smooth.

An average IPA. Mild hop taste takes a back seat to the malt. Not much aroma either. Does have a great copper color. Glad i tried it, but I won’t be yearning for more
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. fantastic citrus and floral hop aromas. Medium bodied with lovely caramel malt undertones, with great hop bitterness throughout and a long lasting hop bitterness on the palate, that is wonderful.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, pours hazy amber with medium off white head. Aroma is citrus, tropical fruits, some malts, some pine. Smells good. Taste is very nice and hoppy with pineapple,mango, peach, some sweet malts. Good bitterness, medium dry.
Really nice IPA, very drinkable.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours cloudy amber, yeast particulates, tan frothy head. Herbal malts, pine, resin, citrus and grapefruit, maple syrup on the nose. Lots of bread and caramel malts, resinous hops, dank fruits with a decent body, dry bitterness on the finish. Fairly balanced and pretty good.
