| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 30, 2006 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry & mds -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy orange with a large lasting fluffy white head. Aroma is surprisingly sweet with fruity malt, some spices and a variety of fresh hops -- very nice! Hoppy flavour nicely balanced with sweet caramel malt -- pleasant spicey bitter finish. Simple but damn tasty. Medium bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Wow, I can’t believe how underrated this beer is, I thought it was absolutely delicious. HogTownHarry (3990), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 18, 2006 Bomber which unfortunately exploded upon opening, sending five or so ounces onto the floor and into the sink. Doh! Otherwise, poured a cloudy orange with a huge merange-like craggy tan head, mostly lasting and leaving stripes of lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and piney hops, spice, a bit of soapiness and some tree sap as well. Very hoppy flavor, spicy, with rich caramel butter-toffee malt foundation. Almost reminiscent of an imperial. Medium palate-smooth. Nice lingering resiny hop bitterness on the finish. From what I salvaged this is a very good left coast IPA. Quite surprised the average rating isn’t higher.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 8, 2006 Bomber. Poured a clear medium orange with an explosive and long-lived cap of creamy beige head... left some nice lacing. Nose was airy and grainy... with hard-to-reach pine and spicy hops... some caramel and toffee beneath. The flavor carried itself a little better, with pine, grapefruit, and spicy English hoppage on top of super-sweet caramel and candy corn. Medium bitterness on the not-so-memorable palate... a bit tacky at the back-end. Decent. Bockyhorsey (2511), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 5, 2006 22oz. Bottle. Good floral aroma. Body had a firery copper color with big foamy off white head. As soon as I took off the cap foam was bubbling like that oil Jed Clampit found in the hillbillies. Took few minutes for head to settle so I could have a beer. Medium bodied brew with a good mix of sweet, citrus, spice and bitter. Sweet dry palate, decent beer. rudolf (1758), Buffalo, New York, USA
