| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 29, 2008 Beautiful lace from just off-whtie head, hazy pale-orange beer. Grapefruit, and sucade fruit, fresh C-hops but not overwhelming. Beautiful real yellow grapefruit flavour, very fresh and mild-bitter. Wow, this is great, as it gives freshness, even when aged a bit. Quite carbonated, even titillating MF, medium bodied. Great hoppy beer, having kept up great. Many thanks to Dirk & Leen hellomynameis (794), Mayer, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 27, 2008 Very aromatic, even as soon as you open the bottle. Lots of floral and citrus hops, appealing. Dark orange and cloudy, not filtered! Lots of malts at first with a very nice bitter hop finish. Finishess quickly without any linger bitterness. Makes it a very nice session IPA. AgentSteve (1366), SF Bay Area, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 25, 2008 Updated: May 26, 2008Bottle shared by Taverner, pours hazy pale orange with almost no head. Nose is ganj like hops. The flavor is quite mouth puckering bitter, with a smooth nutty finish. Taverner (837), San Ramon, California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 11, 2008 Updated: Jan 2, 2009After popping the top I could smell the floral notes flowing out of the bottle. I love this IPA. Full of hops, fresh hops, with their characteristic spiciness and floral notes. This is a hop bomb for the hop lover. It’s a little bland on the aftertaste - but that’s ok. Pours hazy golden with thin white head. SECOND ANALYSIS: This is hands down, the best Harvest IPA you can get. Cornfield (4925), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 2, 2008 Thanks to the ever dapper <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=1 for the pours - It poured a hazy golden orange with a bubbling off-white head. The aroma was intense with sharp grapefruit, lemon zest, a bit of pine... and had a suggestion that sweet caramel lay underneath it all. Very nicely unbalanced flavor to this hop-head, almost tasting like a DIPA. The finish was a prolonged citric bitterness with a few shakes of pepper.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 25, 2008 Bottle sampled with Mad_Indian. Pours hazy orange with a good size off-white head. Aroma of citrusy hops, spices, and caramel. the flavor is caramel, citrus, with a bitter pine finish. AllAboutStout (605), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 24, 2008 Pours a nice gold in color with a nice half inch head sitting atop. Smell is grapefruit, citrusy hops. And I like it. Taste is more balanced, but there’s a very nice citrusy finish. Strikes me as a subdued, Hopslam’s little brother due to the amount of juiciness that’s coming through. Good beer that’s too easy to drink.
