| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 23, 2009 Bottle. Poured amber with a white head that laced nicely. Aroma was a nice combination of grapefruit and earthy notes. The flavor had the same notes with the earthy notes taking more of a dominate position. alagnak (335), Littleton, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 23, 2009 Bottle. Pour is lighter than most of its ilk, nice carbonation bubbles and small white head. Nose is grapefruit and a little straw and earthiness. Flavor is all grapefruit bitterness. Certainly a beer for hopheads (in which I would include myself), and well-made, but I find it really one-dimensional and not very interesting. Gooney (57), Oregon, USA

One of my favorite beers, great on tap and by bottle. Bitter flavor and slight citrus finish. Great floral aroma. As it says on the bottle, this beer is liquid poetry. Try this beer! dmipa (10), Illinois, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 20, 2009 Discount Liquor Milwaukee, WI. $9.49 6-pk. 11/09. As soon as you open the bottle you can smell the hops! Lemon aroma, very fresh, dry hopped. Perfectly balanced, a great malt backbone. This may be the best IPA I have ever tasted.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 15, 2009 Pours orange with a white head. Aroma is grapefruit citrus and floral with more grass and earthy funk than most IPAs. Flavor is similar with more citrus and resin and a bit less grass and earth than I got on the aroma. Very light and dry on the palate. Not as amazing as I was expecting it might be, but still really nice.
