| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 12, 2006 This beer pours a maroon color with orange highlights that has a clear body and leaves a thick tan head that leaves this beer quickly. The aroma is very faint, some caramel sweetness, and a weak presence of hops aroma. The taste more than makes up for the smell the taste is fantastic, starts bitter with a blast of grapefruit quickly followed by a smooth balancing of caramel and a nice crisp tartness to round out the flavors. The finish is soft and sweet but leaves you with a memorable bitterness bite.

Light amber, thin head.
Strong pine forest and grass aroma. Fine balance between malty body and oily bitterness, a bit too much perfume in the tail. But wow! DrBayern (1137), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 15, 2006 Clear amber sporting a large, frothy, durable off white head - very nice. Spicy aroma with some orange and lemon as well. Medium body, light carbonation, and a smooth feel. Some caramel sweetness that is kept well in check by peppery spice and citusy bitterness. Finsihes dry with a lingering thirst quenching bitterness. A very smooth and drinkable IPA. CTwriter (34), USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 22, 2006 Pours deep amber into a shaker. Head quickly recedes to skim the surface. Citrus and pine notes. Well balanced with up front malts which quickly turn to a lasting bitter hop finish. yarry (370), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada

Nice coppery red colour with a thick offwhite head. The aroma is citrus and pine, definitely one of the american C hops. Very smooth taste well balanced with a definite hop kick in the aftertaste. Very weighty in the mouthfeel and a satisfying drink. This is a great IPA if you love your hops! foundmd (163), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 23, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours amber orange with a medium off-white head. Nice refreshing aroma of orange citrus with pine and honey. Flavor is more one-dimensional, emphasizing pine and floral hops. Pleasant lingering hop bitterness with a dry smooth finish. Not bad overall. Bov (5514), Bienne, Switzerland
