| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 7, 2008 Appearance and aroma are true to the IPA style. This beer is an amber/yellow color, with a stong white head. The aroma is mainly of earthy, floral hops. Some malt sweetnes is evident. The flavor is not a strong as i might have thought. Still, it is a good balance of floral, somewhat piney hops, and malt sweetness. The brew has a medium mouthfeel. The finish is a lingering, pleasing montage of hops, not citrus, but piney, floral, earthy hops. Solid IPA overall. PaulHegedus (464), Georgetown, Ontario, Canada

Has a nice frothy head, amber colour. This bottle is fragrant: floral aromas in the hops, orange zest, bread. Mouthfeel is medium, pleasant. Tastes fresh. Flavour starts with apricot, peach and grapefruit, then there is hop bitterness, biscuit, toffee, then a bitter finish. mgumby10 (1850), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 6, 2008 Pours a lightly hazy copper color, with a small off white head. Smells of some musty hops, a little bit of cinnamon, hop bitterness, and caramel malt. Tastes maybe a little bit past its prime becuase the hops didnt seem as sharp in the flavor. The bitterness is pretty powerful on the palate. The flavor is mostly caramel and some juicy jops, with a big malt presence. A little bit disappointing, but I dont think I caught this at its freshest state.
