| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 19, 2008 Light and drinkable, this IPA is good for a session IPA. It’s not aggressively hoppy and can feel like a pale ale, but it does have that nice citrus backbone that I love so much. No pine at all, which is welcomed by me, but it also serves to draw the beer down on bitterness. wheelz843 (211), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Oct 15, 2008 aaaaaeeeeieee!! Abita finally releases an IPA. This one was awesome. Great malt character balanced out well with the hops. Abita makes a great beer and this one represents their brewery very well and shows that we can expect a lot out of them in the near future. bhensonb (4380), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 15, 2008 Bottle from T’s Liquor in Tempe, AZ. Pours amber with a decent beige head. Fruity hop aroma over mild caramel. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is resin and fruit (citrus?) over caramel. It seems a bit harsh, but arguably balanced. Not a smooth one. kpresley77 (134), Jackson, Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 15, 2008 Updated: May 7, 2009Bottle pours clear amber with thick off white head and very nice lacing. Aroma is sweet malt and pine hops. First taste is malt but it is balanced quickly with citrus and pine hops. There is slight linger of pine hops. Hops really take over as the beer warms and finish is pine hops. Starts out like a pale ale and warms to an IPA. Taverner (886), San Ramon, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 13, 2008 Updated: Oct 17, 200812 oz purchased from Jazz City in NoLa. Aroma is sugary maltiness. Hop profile is barely existent, save for a wisp of bitterness. This may be an old bottle - the place was a gift/liquor/beer/t-shirt store. Still, this finishes smooth and buttery - a save from an otherwise bland beer. pumpmaster (483), Pembroke Pines, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 13, 2008 12 ounce bottle purchased at Total Wine Pembroke Pines, FL for $1.49 Very good. mansquito (849), Boston/Philadelphia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 9, 2008 It pours a coppery orange pour with a really creamy, thick, and long-lasting off-white head. Fruity aroma with a bunch of hops. Taste is malty and doughy at first then it goes to getting moderately hoppy. It gets to be the most bitter at its finish. Palate is nice and creamy with a medium body. Pretty good indeed. Too bad that my friends drank almost this entire six-pack.
