| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 3, 2007 Cloudy orange, aroma of semi-sweet hops, but not as strong as many IPAs I’ve had. Dry and a little rough on the hops side, is the first thing that comes to mind, OK IPA. nearbeer (1866), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 31, 2007 12 oz, no date stamp. Clear orange-golden with a medium and lasting head. Nose is evergreen resin and dry cereal grain. Flavor is rich and malty on front but mixed well with pine resin hops, turning towards more grassy-bitter and resiny hops on the finish. Palate is light-medium bodied, kind of airy, and dry. Good session ale. crazyvin (1254), New York, USA

Flavor was some what bitter to me, a nice malt presence to it, Still kind of mild. AgentSteve (1378), SF Bay Area, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 20, 2007 Pours a nice copper/amber coler. Nose of sweet malts and hopsNice hop flavor with a bitter finsh that lingers, with a little sweetness to it. A nice IPA. Unfortunately for North Coast, too many other IPA’s that are better and readily available. ucusty (1913), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 11, 2007 Bottle. Pours light copper with medium white head. Aroma is piney, some light citrus - pineapple, orange and apricot. Flavor is a little creamy doughy maltiness, but dominated by fruity hops. Finish is pretty bitter, piney, resiny hops. I feel that this beer is underrated, I like its bitter hop bite.
