| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 5, 2009 12oz bottle. Clear amber color with a small white head. Nice citrusy hoppy aroma with some hints of sweet honey. Bitter initial taste of pine eventually smooths out with a well balanced citrus flavor. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Pretty solid and well worth a try. VTHopHead (901), Barre, Vermont, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 5, 2009 Bottle - Pours a dark golden amber in color with almost no head and very little carbonation. Aroma is of grassy hops with hints of citrus and pine. Flavor is hoppy with strong pine resin. Some maltiness kicks in near the end to provide some balance. Finish is rather short and medium bitter. An OK IPA... easy drinking, but certainly not near the top... Dedollewaitor (3642), Odense, Denmark

Nose is super fresh and fruity of hops. Citrus, grapefruit and pine. Bitter dry, crisp and fresh taste with some malty buiscuit notes. Very nice! BroSpud (594), , Massachusetts, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 2, 2009 12oz bottle. Normally I would probably rate this a bit higher but I have been tasting alot of great IPAs this week and this one doesn’t quite stand up to some of the others tasted recently. I still love a good IPA and this one is in fact good but there are many better ones out there that I would choose over it. This one seemed somewhat on the thin side.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 29, 2009 12 oz bottle thanks to msiano, thanks Mike. Pours a thin bodied orange amber with a soapy white head that leaves lace like Palmolive. Aroma of soap, fresh floral hops, honey topped bread, but I seem to be getting this in most beers lately. Flavors of floral hops, grainy breads and citrus rinds. Solid ber but nothing to knock the doors down over. BlackForestCO (820), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 28, 2009 Bottle from j12601, thanks Jay. Poured a clear yellow-copper color with a 1/2 inch off-white head that faded to a thin layer. Aroma of moderately leafy hops with some pine, a light citrus fruitiness (some grapefruit, orange), light caramel, and a bit of graininess. Smooth, lightly tart entry with some lemon peel and a bit of grapefruit with some undertones of soft caramel malt that transitions into a moderately bitter, lightly leafy hoppiness with a light pine and a soft graininess in the finish. Moderate carbonation and decent mouthfeel. Overall, a solid IPA that is pretty drinkable. The light graininess detracts a bit but it isn’t overly problematic. sunevdj (1770), Copenhagen OE, Denmark
