| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 15, 2009 Pours tequila sunset into a shaker. Amber head quickly subsides. Sweet citrus aromas. Sour and citrusy but in the end a little unlikeable. DalzAle (508), Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 11, 2009 Can. Clear orange/yellow pour with a little bit of carbonation. Orange citrus and mellow hops aroma. Flavor was bubblegum, tons of sweet citrus and easy on the hops. As much as I like the bitter hop bomb beers out there, this one was well balanced and deceivably drinkable for its 7.2% ABV. Very good! cgarvieuk (4212), Edinburgh, Scotland

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 24, 2009 Can thanks to Snojerk321. Pours a chill hazed gold with a big frothy head. Nose is slightly citric, tropical and floral hops with some caramel sweetness as well. Taste is very straightforward IPA, Nice level of bitterness with a clean malt backbone that holds the hops up. Very nice IPA, really. savnac (448), Palmer, Alaska, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 19, 2009 Can. Aroma is citrus, lemon, and floral hops with a bit of malt in the background. Slightly cloudy orange with a white foamy head. Taste is a mix of sweet and bitter but has a long bitter finish. Medium bodied, actively carbonated and a crisp clean mouth feel. I’ve had this fresh at the brewery a lot and even on cask. The can is good but this beer is amazing fresh on tap.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 19, 2009 Bright gold, whipped meringue head. Little cantaloupe summery aroma. Light bodied, super easy to drink, I’m not overwhelmed with the bitterness but I am definitely whelmed. Lingering dryness. LilBeerDoctor (1528), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 14, 2009 Can thanks to riversideAK. Pours a hazy light orange with a thick white head. Aroma of luscious tropical fruits, grapefruit, and awesome citrusy hops. Flavor of nice hop oils and sweet citrusy hops. This is an awesome IPA, one of my favorites. A touch sweet, but that’s my only complaint. Delicious!
