| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 15, 2008 Bottle. Reddish amber pour with a thick cream colored head. Has an earthy hop aroma with a little bit of caramel in there too. Has a really nice hop flavor with an underlying caramel sweetness. This is not a normal IPA, its different in a good way, interesting and enjoyable. wilkie (1189), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA

Aroma is very floral with pine, grapefruit and soap. Flavor is decent, some caramel, but could have a little better malt-hops balance. cbkschubert (1967), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 10, 2008 From a bottle. Pours a amber color with off white head. Big aromas of citrusy, floral hops and some sweet malts. More of the same in the taste. great tasting hoppy beer. If you’re into hops a fresh one of these is what you need to drink.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 9, 2008 Poured from bottle. Hop city in aroma. Bronze, coarse tan head. Lotsa hop and lotsa malt in flavor. The sweet malt and the hops is a winning combination. Very nice finish. I liked this one a lot. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 8, 2008 medium white head, dark, reddish amber body. aromas of grapefruit, lychee/litchi, pine, vanilla, and something floral.. more artificial floral maybe. citrusy, slightly sweet, and a bit spicy (like arugula). flavor is a bit one-dimensional, and the body is pretty thin, but quite drinkable nonetheless.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 8, 2008 Bottle, best by 10/2008. Pours a dark brown/amber with a small white head. Aroma of bitter hops and light sweet malt. Flavor is pretty similar- nice light sweet malt (quite malty for an IPA) and light, slightly piney hops. Not so hoppy for an IPA per se; it flirts with being an amber ale, ASA, and IPA. Regardless of classification, it was a decent brew and pretty tasty. fredandboboflo (1404), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 8, 2008 Bottle, best by 10/08. Aroma of semi-bitter hops, semi-sweet malt. Flavor has nice bittering hops with a fairly rich malt base. Not really an IPA, more of a strong amber/weak ASA. Pretty tasty, well made, but kind of boring.
