Smell of hops and sweet spice. Strong taste of hops and metal. Not getting much else. Boring darn1207 (630), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 9, 2007 Appearance: Light copper-colored body with a small, foamy white head.
Smell: Faint lemony citrus aroma with lesser notes of apricots and pale malts.
Taste: Starts with a faint, remote sweetness then moves to a grapefruit twang. Finishes lightly bitter, lighty metallic.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Sharp carbonation.
Drinkability: Little malt, hop, or yeast character. Entirely underwhelming. theisti (1692), Leawood, Kansas, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 9, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Pour is golden, with a medium white head. Aroma is pine and citrus hop, with a little malt poking through. Taste is hop and malt, neither of which is particularly big. Not much in the finish. Overall a drinkable, yet, pretty blah IPA.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 6, 2007 NICE MALT NOSE WITH A HINT OF STRAW AND A STRAW HOP PROFILE. BITTER MALT FLAVOR AND GRAPEFRUIT CHARACTER. THE BITTER FADES AND THE GRAPEFRUIT BECOMES MORE FRUITY AND A TOUCH FLORAL.NOT COMPLEX BUT, SIMPLY GOOD. CREAMY BEIGE HEAD AND A TOUCH OF AN ALCOHOL TASTE. mercedesbevi (1), USA does not count | 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 23, 2007 Great pale ale flavors with a rich citrus character to it... lemon zest mostly, I think, but you can find other characteristics there.
Rich, clear amber color with some head and a bit of lacing. One might expect more retention considering the hop richness in there but I’m not complaining.
Freshness is key to this brew. It’s very lively, very alive, really. A hoppy but still balanced beverage. fattibobatti (246), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | May 14, 2007 strong hop aroma. tasted of pine and a hint of citrus. hops carry though to a long aftertaste. pleasant. the beer lightly coats the mouth proving to not be all that thin like some cheaper ipas. joohefner (380), Isla Vista, California, USA
