nimbleprop (3000) - SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA - OCT 24, 2006
Poured a opaque orangey amber from the bottle with a small amount of white head. Mild citrus and hop aroma with just a hint of malt. Initial flavor is sugary and malty and the bitterness of the hops come in at the very end on the tongue. Heavy mouth feel and slightly oily on the tongue. Again, a refreshing beer from Tommyknocker.

A pretty decent IPA with all the hallmarks of the variety. Nice and robust floral nature with a smooth mouthfeel and strong malty character. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours an orange / amber color. Nose of pine, citrus. Very easy to drink - some citrus and bitterness, but lacks a big hoppy bite at the end like traditional IPAs. More like an APA. Not complex, but good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Great amber pour, not much head (but may be bottle i bought in the bar), mildly hoppy and good finnish.

Picked up in Idaho Springs. I agree that it is not what I would consider a traditional IPA. Mild hops. The first taste has a sweet fruit flavor to it. Nice carmel color.

A medium-bodied pale ale with a small head. The beer is mildly hoppy and has a very light aftertaste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

The label is misleading because it reads IPA but tastes more like an American pale ale very fruity and citrus hop aroma. Hop flavor is balanced well with malt, although an IPA should have more hop flavor characteristics. Clean malt profile flavor and smooth. Very easy to drink. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

DocLock (6789) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 8, 2012
Bottle from Wegman’s. Pours turbid orange with off-white head. Nose is pale malt, hopcitrus. Tastes as it smells, with the pale malt up front dominating and the hops coming up the rear.

jrob21 (2011) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - JUL 17, 2012
Bottle from total wine. Cloudy dark orange color. Apricot and orange aromas. Good body but the hop flavor may be a little faded here. Finish has a touch of citrus bitterness. A more citrusy apa but nothing to really jump up and down about.

Hazy amber beer, little white head. Crisp palate turning softer, well balanced. Good malt base for some mildly bitter orange marmalade hops. Finishes with creamy malt and a little bitterness in the aftertaste. Tasty little beer.
