| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jun 21, 2005 12 oz bottle. Cloudy copper with a dense, lasting off white head. Nice hoppy and spicy aroma. Taste is sticky sweet with flavors of piney hops, grapefruit and an odd caramel. As it warms, I found my hand getting heavy as the second half wasn’t as drinkable. Perhaps the malts were too sweet, I dunno but not that enjoyable. hopdog (5549), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 29, 2005 Poured a dark amber color with a huge (5 finger) off white head. Aromas of mainly citrus with light pine. Tastes of grapefruit, light pine and oranges. Medium to heavy bitter taste. Lightly spicy. Has a sweetness to the finish.

| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | May 16, 2005 Bottle: Aroma is a little weak. More malty than hoppy with a light citrus but I wouldn’t call it citrus hops. Pours a dull cloudy amber with a creamy off-white head that lasts a minute or so. Some black sediment sitting at the bottom of the glass. Very malty and sweet with a funky sugary and hop flavors in the finish. In the finish it tastes like they just dumped some sugar in this beer. Really unexpected and rather unpleasant. This is pretty bad. willblake (2174), Belcamp, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 3, 2005 05.03.05 12oz bottle thanks to MrFacto, LOT2954. Particle filled, cloudy amber. Brainy and lofty tan head. Starkly resinous aromas highlighted by strong whiffs of tangerine and touches of sweet malt below. Lots of orange flavors. Lots. And it’s not an artificial orange or orange flavored, but just a great combo of hops and malts that makes me constantly think of dewey and sweet tangerines, pithy too. Maybe some grapefruit touches. Clean and crisp to finish, but not in a nasty Coors Light kind of way. Great quaff, almost too drinkable to put down the glass, pick up the pen, and write. Thanks Matt. erway (1002), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Apr 27, 2005 Pours a clear amber with a tightly knit white head that sticks around for a long time. Soft aromas of orange, peach, malt and the slight presence of oxidation. Med. bodied that’s lush and mouth-coating. Flavors of grapefruit and oranges (maybe a mix of a c-hop and some amarrillo) with a really nice crystal malt backbone. Nice dry soft med. bitter finish. A bit of diacetyl and oxidation make this less than perfect but it is really good. OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 8, 2005 Amber almost bright orange color on the pour amazing fluffy white head stays around a long long time. The aroma is hoppy and a little pine scent. Beautiful smell and head. A lot of hop taste to it too. A little pine flavor but not overpowering. I can taste some malt in this one and a nice bitter finish. This is a very good IPA. This one was a nice surprise!! Mangino (1027), Mississippi, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 4, 2005 Pours a bright amber color. Small white head. Aroma is musty citrus fruit. Flavor is sweet and hoppy, lots of piney citrus notes come out with other fruits. Not Bad. footbalm (1218), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
