| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 27, 2008 Clear orange color with a bone colored medium sized head. Nose is pine, pink grapefruit, resin, and a slight sort of sour soapy smell. Tastes is toasted and oxidized, very acidic mouthfeel and kind of burnt tasting on the back end. This burnt smell blows off after a bit. Nose is much better than the taste. satan165 (561), River Grove, Illinois, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 21, 2008 Pours a dark golden color with a fluffy off-white head. Lacing sticks throughout nicely.
The smell is predominantly floral hops with a hint of breadyness.
The taste is quite strongly floral hops with a few grapefruit tones in the attack making for a very high hop bitterness level. The finish brings a very earthy/grassy flavor.
This brew has a fairly light mouthfeel and is rather dry in the finish with maybe a bit too much carbonation for my taste.
This is a fairly drinkable brew. It is dry and bitter which is great for a pick me up on a cold snowy day, but would be ideal on a hot sunny day. Falls short of my expectation for reasons I can’t quite put my finger on.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Pours a light copper colour with a thin creamy off white head. Nose is very much citrusy hops, a lot of grapefruit and it still manages to get some nice caramel malty backing in there too. Flavour up front is nice and malty and sweet. Finish is nice big hops, lots of citrus, and plenty of bitterness. Nice and thick and creamy in the mouth, carbonation is pretty much spot on. Nice IPA.

Flavor is a nice blend of citrusy, bitter hops and light caramel malt. Very refreshing and drinkable. Pretty similar to Harvest Ale but slightly hoppier. Nice beer.
