| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 22, 2009 Super belle bouteille qui me donne vraiment le gout d’aller a la peche meme si on est en Février. Apparence Orange qui tire un peu du cuivré un peu brumeuse avec un collet encore tres mousseux et qui colle tres bien au verre... Aromes beaucoup plus fruité et floral que la Stone IPA, peches, oranges, apricots, un peu les poires, caramel et miel. Gout tres cremeux en bouche, IBU beaucoup moin elevé que je l’aurais pensé... j’estime environ 50-55 IBU. Amertume tout de meme tres respectable, tres belle rondeur en bouche. Biere tres balancé. Zest de pamplemousse et un petit coté resineux me chatouille les papilles gustatives. IPA tres impressionante... quoiqu’un peu différente de la STONE IPA elle ne decoit pas.
Correction au degré d’IBU... j’estime 60-65 Swalden28 (1446), McKinney, Texas, USA

The aroma was nice floral hoppy, the flavor was a nice blend of citrus, floral hops and malt, very well balanced. A slight bitterness throughout the drink but never overwhelming. An excellent IPA that did not disappoint. mnovacanes (48), Munster, Indiana, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 21, 2009 Updated: Apr 9, 2009Appearance: reddish, orange, copper, light haze; above average head with decent retention
Aroma: lots of fruit, floral, and citrus, as expected from the centennial hops; very easy to enjoy
Flavor: wow, centennial is quite different than simcoe; all floral and fruit; very easy to like; refreshing; also a noticeable grainy, yeasty presence which adds, rather than subtracts, from the overall experience; medium to medium-high bitterness, and it is kept in check nicely
Palate: pretty smooth; medium bodied; quite high carbonation--probably too high;
(tasted twice)
