| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 4, 2009 Strong smell of hops. Taste reflects this as well. Good example of an IPA, I just don’t care for them as much. jimmack34 (560), Lancaster, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 2, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours coppery orange with a large soapy head. Smells of citrusy pine. Tastes lightly malted, but heavily hopped. Not overly hopped, but just a good amount of piney, earthy hops. Goes well with the mild malt flavor. Nice aftertaste and real good drinkability.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 1, 2009 Bottle. Poured a hazy orange color. Strong aroma of citrus and pine.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 28, 2009 12 oz. bottle at Union Jack, Arlington VA. Dark and hazy. Taste is very sharp. The hops are very citrusy, and almost pine-like in its sharpness. Overall, not bad. I appreciate the bold flavors of this IPA although I would prefer a bit more bitterness to go along with the high citrusy-pine cone notes. RHeastings (394), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 25, 2009 Enjoyed via draft in a pilsner glass. This classic does not disappoint. While the aroma could have been a bit more prevalent, the flavor if this mid-western IPA is nearly unmatched. Hops up front are set in tandem with a finishing sweetness of malt and a dry finish that leaves the drinker reaching for the glass again. Agaguk (119), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
