Taste is sweet malt, citrus, then a nice hop bite. Finishes a tad bitter, quite dry, and no warmth. Medium body, sticky texture, normal carbonation. Overall a great interpretation of an american IPA. although no "wow" factor, just a very balanced IPA. DrBeer (777), Danderyd Stockholm, Sweden

Taste is interesting citric-sweet combo, featuring some round sweet grape, stewed peach, and light caramel and very dry and bitter grassy-grapefruit hop notes. Must be the oats rounding out the uncharacteristic body Looong drying hop finish with lemon drop dust. Probably would be more interesting when fresh. EricE (456), Fairfax, Virginia, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jul 22, 2009 Orange amber pour with two finger beige head. Aroma is herbal, grassy and floral with an almost minty quality. Flavor is an excellently pronounced cocktail of hop facets. Spruce and citrus are up front while the grassy notes are a bit less noticeable. Palate is excellent for the style, finishing clean and dry. A very nice example of the style.
