| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Nov 14, 2009 A: Poured with a medium-sized, thick white head. Body is a very nice dark golden color, and quite clear.
S: Citrus is quite apparent, with a medium-to-high hop aroma winning the battle.
T: This is a bitter beer... not overpowering, but the hops come through quite strongly. Extremely dry finish with a long duration.
M: Medium-bodied and creamy, with a soft-to-average carbonation. Very nice on the palate.
D: A very solid IPA... maybe too bitter to be drinking this all night, unless you want your taste buds scraped off. But a helluva strong showing that’s definitely worth picking up. kangaroo (19), Everett, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 11, 2009 A huge white head over orange and amber body. Smells of citrus and pine and light malt. Taste is of mild malt giving way to a roller coaster of pine and grapefruity hoppiness. Power chords of hops that fade quietly away into a long, bitter, dry finish. Overall a very nice beer. alagnak (335), Littleton, Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 21, 2009 Bomber from bvc. Nice citric hops on the nose, a little orange and lemon zest and a light roastiness of all things. Upfront is some caramel malt and biscuit, which fades quickly to the citric hops and a little resin in the crisp finish. Super-drinkable stuff, this. Thanks, brandon.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 20, 2009 Orange amber with a large white head. Aroma is tangerine citrus and some cedar. Flavor is sweet caramel malt up front, then cedar, grapefruit, and a dry bitter finish. One of my favorite inexpensive IPAs. mettkea (6), Minnesota, USA does not count | 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 1, 2009 22oz bottle brought back from Seattle.

Pours golden orange with a fluffy off white head...Aroma is slight caramel and that is about it... Flavor on the other hand is pretty nice. Very balanced with citrus hops and a malt backbone.. Perfect body, not to thin not to thick. Good stuff.
