| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of grapefruit, sweet citrusy hops, and some light fruits (raisin). Flavor is quite sweet for an IPA. Sweet fruit, raisin, grapefruit, with a slight bitter finish. Decent beer, ok IPA. I wish there was a little bit more hops (perhaps my bottle was slightly aged?) JohnnyJ (1307), Carlsbad, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 3, 2008 On tap at Stone Bistro. Pours a orange/yellow with white head. Bitter hops, grapefruit, orange peel, caramel malt, floral hops, and a little bit of pepper. Good, but a pretty standard IPA Beaver (595), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 1, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a frothy white head that quickly goes to a thin film that laces the glass.
The aroma is caramel malt, melon and spicy peppery hops.
The flavor is sweet sugary malts and fruits (melon and a little banana) followed by a resiny salty tarry (almost plasticy) hop finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with some sharp carbonation.
Overall, a decent IPA. I didn’t care too much for the hop profiles. Very similar to the Hop 15 from what I recall. borgination (101), Lee, Massachusetts, USA

Poured a clear orange/gold color with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma was pine and citrus. The flavor had an amazing amount of hops, with pine, citrus and a lingering bitter finish, but lacked a solid malt base to add balance. The palate was above average, with good carbonation, a slick, sticky mouthfeel and a medium body. carruthm (1122), Seattle, Washington, USA

Aromas of grapefruit, citrus, and old rain water. The hops were plentiful, but astringent. I’m very indifferent about this beer.
