| 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.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 6, 2009 Bottle from Scrizzz (Thanks!) Hazy golden orange pour, a little carbonation and a good rich aroma of vanilla and bitter citrus. Flavor starts light orange, then some piney hops and finishes with a lingering (and interesting) sweet grapefruit. Really like this one, very unique! Birdiebeagle (783), Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 21, 2009 Bottle trade from Scrizz, thanks buddy. Pours a hazy amber with a thin off white head. The head is frothy and mostly lasting. Produces spotty lacing. Has a good clean hoppy aroma. I get spruce, floral, and citrus. Has a pretty good carbonation. The flavor is real good. Plenty of bitterness, and just a touch of malts to balance the hoppiness. Has a resiny texture. A medium body. A super finish with a great aftertaste. This is all an IPA should be and more.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 15, 2009 Pint at Sixth St Bistro in Hood River - Aroma is very malty with a slight hop kick in the finish. Flavor is opposite than aroma and is much hoppier with pine and citrus and a touch of malt in an attempt at balance. Palate is crisp and tart. Pretty tasty stuff. dwyerpg (2529), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Sep 15, 2009 This IPA smells just like dogfishhead 90 minute. A good strong caramel hop flavor, with a nice hop finish, but none of the hops are the bittering killers, so it has a quite nice flavor. coyotehunter (546), , Michigan, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 30, 2009 Bottle thanks to Scrizz. Pours a dark coppery color with little head. Nose is of tea,(presumably the english hops) some pine, and some floral presence. Decent mix of malt and hops...not overpowering and reasonably good. Some earth, light tobacco, a bit of pine. Smooth drinker with a moderate carbonation and light bitter in the finish. larryLSB (146), La Selva Beach, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 27, 2009 12 oz bottle, thanks to bret27. Poured golden amber with medium white head. Fuggles hops were the overriding aroma, giving it an earthy, dirty taste. Dry finish, good English IPA. dkingsella (86), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 25, 2009 Pours a nice amber with a one finger off white head. Drank out of a shaker glass which probably didn’t help highlight the aroma as I couldn’t detect much other than some hoppy citrus notes. Average carbonation and mouthfeel. More in the english style that west coast...more balance between hops & malts. Some hops bitterness with toasty notes. Overall not bad, just not my favorite. Would buy again for something different.
