| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 8, 2009 Cloudy yellowish color with a sparse head. The aroma has some sweet floral and light citrus hops to it. The taste is very well balanced and smoothly bitter. The finish is fantastic, a nice refreshing floral and light fruit burst. trevor211 (518), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 8, 2009 Pour from the can - golden orange with a decent, dense head. Tons of citrus hops on the nose, but it isn’t acerbic - it’s actually a pretty sweet aroma, with more mandarin than grapefruit or pine resin. Really nice on the nose. Flavor is... not bad. Actually tastes a little like pine. It isn’t too bitter, but the hops just don’t shine in here - seems a bit stale, and there are some odd lactic / funky notes that make me think this was a bad batch. Infected? Not sure. If so, it’s still not bad. If not, this just isn’t that great. SuIIy (1484), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 6, 2009 12 ounce can in goblet. Pale hazy orange with nice dense head and lace. Fruity piney yeasty hop aroma with a touch of bandaid. Mildly fruity sweet nondescript flavor with decent fresh hop resiny dry finish. Not bad. Failrly mild. Well-balanced. italarican (170), Astoria, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 5, 2009 Poured a slightly hazy bronze with a bit of white head. Moderate level of floral hops in the nose, with some citrus to boot. Tastes like IPA: citrus, hoppy, and a bit of pine. Moderate level of bitterness. Tastes pretty fresh, but nothing stands out. The type of IPA where you go "Hmm, not bad" and forget about it 5 minutes later. daknole (3021), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA

Pretty nice. egajdzis (3636), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
