The hoppiness of this beer was almost perfect. Could have been a little fuller, but it was better than a lot of IPAs I’ve had lately. The spiciness was a nice surprise. smhncabot (310), Cabot, Arkansas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 11, 2007 A good IPA. Nothing overwhelming nor underwhelming. A good beer. Spicy, earthy and bitter. TomDecapolis (3150), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jan 6, 2007 2006 Bottle Lot 3006. Pours a translucent golden orange amber with a rocky/creamy off white head that left lots of spotty lacing and sustained. Aroma of earty/spicy/floral hops with hints of citrus and a good amount of caramel malt. Flavors also of the earth/spicy hop, some grapefruit and pretty heavy on the hop bitterness. Would have preferred they used something other than Cluster. grimreeser (796), Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 4, 2007 Pours amber with a small head. Fruity aroma, sweet malty flavor. Not quite my style. Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 2, 2007 12 oz bottle from wheninhell - thanks Andy! Clear amber pour with a film of white for a head. Tangy sweet orange, grapefruit and apple nose. Citrus flavors, medium bitter, decent malty base. Mildly thin. Bitter citrus finish. Solid but unspectacular IPA. cathschlag (48), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 26, 2006 Updated: Jan 23, 2007Couleur brun-roux. Mousse peu abondante avec de très belles grosses bulles. Nez de pamplemousse légèrement sucré. Ronde en bouche. L’amertume se fait ressentir en milieu de dégustation et s’estompe en finale. Pas du tout d’effervescence. (Bouteille achetée chez Julio’s). merlin48 (511), New Tazewell, Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 16, 2006 Pretty interesting brew here. Assertive malt presence of toffee and caramel overpowers the hops in most aspects. Appearance is cloudy orange, almost copper. Offwhite head fails to impress and lacing is scant. Taste is well balanced. Slight citrus and some grassy and pine hops struggle here with the assertive maltiness. Finishes pretty well balanced thanks to the assertive hops array. I really like this one but it’s a departure from the stated style.
