| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 31, 2010 7/28/09 on draft at Uber, Seattle. Aroma is extremely citrusy, sweet from malt blends. Appearance is hazy tan/gold with a well maintained white head and good lacing. Flavor is highly citrus with moderate malt, near perfect balance and moderate bittering. Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied with medium bittering and a slightly astringent finish. Overall, not a ’wow’ IPA in terms of strength, but you can taste the care taken and quality of the brew throughout. TLNash886 (151), Idaho, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 26, 2010 12 oz bottle pours a cloudy burnt orange color with some off white head into a tulip. Dark as hell for an IPA. Floral aroma of hops, caramel malts, honey. Soft hops upfront; more subdued with caramel malts, lemon, honey, tea. Finishes bolder with stronger, resiny hops and a near burnt sugar quality. Frothy mouthfeel, quite soft on the palate really. Medium bodied with an appropriate mid line live of carbonation. A well balanced, sweet IPA. Refreshing, drinkable, and more palatable than many of its brethren in my opinion. unclemattie (2542), Georgia, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 25, 2009 Pretty good IPA - nice and dry on the finish, and lots of leafy, grassy notes in the nose. Not the most bitter tongue crusher - which is good. Pours an amber cloudy. askofficerfriendly (344), Riverview, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2009 A: Very cloudy yellow orange color with a huge rocky head. Kind of reminds me of a hefe. The head which looks like ocean foam really hangs around and leaves behind layer after layer of lacing. What a beautiful IPA.
S: Nice hop aroma. Floral hops with a touch of pine. I love it.
T: Nice IPA. Starts off with a hint of malt and just the right amount of hops. I am normally a hop head and the more the merrier, but this brew while on the moderate side when it comes to hops has a perfect balance. There is malt, floral hops, and a deep resinous pine character.
M: Medium bodied and easy drinking. highibus (461), Mill Creek, Washington, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 11, 2009 Bottle. Great beer. Poured an amber orange color with a decent two finger white head. Left lacing on the side of the glass as it wenta along. Aroma was pine, hops, and citrus. Flavor exploded on the palate. Very great beer and company. Would drink again.
