Earthy aroma of fruit and floral hops. Flavors of wood grains and hops. Very subtle and not over bearing. Finished with a caramel sweetness and maybe biscuits. jimmay (203), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 26, 2008 12 oz bottle from Premier Gourmet. Pours deep orange/copper. Slightly off-white head. Good body, lots of flavour. axilla (962), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 17, 2008 Pours a clean orange body with a small but foamy white head with some sticky lacing. The aroma has some nice sweet clementine orange notes going with some earthy caramel malts. the flavor starts with some dusty tasting citrusy hops followed up with some mild caramel and tea notes with a very bready finish. Not bad. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 11, 2008 Bottle received in trade from ROBORB. Thanks!
Pours a nice rich orange color with a medium lived beige head. Smell is earthy, dusty and lightly citrusy hops and malt. Taste is dry, dusty and earthy bitterness from the hops and a hint of sweetness pokes through. Very earthy and dry though for the most part with a light orange citrusy quality. Good body with slightly high fizzy carbonation. Pretty solid IPA overall. Thanks! MtStateBeer (79), Hurricane, West Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 9, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours an orange-amber color with a large frothy white head, good lacing. Aroma is mainly hops; floral, grapefruit, and resin. There is also some fruit and caramel malts. Taste is good, caramel malts, sweet and buttery, mainly a resin hop flavor with some grapefruit. Light to medium body with a fairly bitter finish. Decent beer, drinkable. biznizness (934), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 7, 2008 OK, so this is a pretty standard and decent IPA, from a brewery that already has a good IPA (in my mind). Just seems like an unnecessary beer. Not worth going out of your way. NachlamSie (1637), Tennessee, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 30, 2008 Bottle best before February 2009. Pours a light copper with a good head. The aroma is sort of hoppy, but more fruity malts are present. Hints of apples, caramel, and a dash of wood are noted. The flavor is pretty light, though certainly hoppier than the nose. This seems to have an English character. Citrus is minimal and most bitterness is conveyed in a wooden fashion. The finish is drier and an apple sweetness is found throughout. This is nothing to write home about. It will do when there are no other viable alternatives. FROTHINGSLOSH (1984), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 27, 2008 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark caramel-amber color with a huge orange-white head. The aroma was fairly strong fruity and floral hops. The flavor was sweet, malty and had fairly strong fruity and spicy hops. The beer turns a touch sour towards the finish. Better than the sum of it’s parts and nicely quaffable.
