| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 24, 2009 Very nice looking, cloudy light orange-ish color with big off-white head of tiny bubbles. Aroma of hops, and I got an almost rubbery, band-aid smell too. Very nice bitterness but not much to go with it. Palate of tiny dancing carbonation. I expected this to be better than it was. philbertk (37), Seattle, Washington, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 23, 2009 not the best from a brewer that normally makes some pretty good beer, but this one was a dissapointment. no floral/citrus/pine flavor that most people associate with a west coast IPA.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 21, 2009 Nice appearance. This is an excellent, balanced, everyday drinking IPA. Not a lot in the aroma, but a pleasant drink. GreatStelle (360), Chico, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 20, 2009 Nice aroma. Extremley hoppy. Smells of pine, fruit. Nice medium malt flavor. A bit smokey. A medium-heavy mouth feel. pretty good beer. pkbites (328), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 19, 2009 Pours a cloudy orange with an unimpressive head. Nose is luscious of hops, caramel, and cheap flavored soda pop! Flavor is of mega hops, peach, and a ton of grapefruit and citrus peels, followed by caramel at the swallow. Lots of hop bittering in the aftertaste. Little carbonation kills it’s thirst quenching ability. Everything else is right on target!
