| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 8, 2008 Bottle from Dirty_Martini. Hazy pale body with a small white head. Sweet hoppy nose with citrus, dough and honey. The flavor is lightly sweet, lightly bitter with orange peal, tangerine, flowers and cotton candy. Medium body is a bit thin with moderate carbonation. More of an APA than IPA. doubleo (1104), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 30, 2008 Pours an almost honey yellow color with a somewhat thick white head that leaves a little bit of lace on the glass.
Smells more malty than hoppy to me. Just a bit of hops on the nose. Tastes nice and hoppy, not too much not too little. Quite a bit of malty flavor on the finish as well. Thinnish palate, nice crisp carbonation. Leaves a little coating on the mouth. Good IPA, attractive price $2.99. luvcasks (178), USA

Burnished gold - clear with medium off white head. Lean malt background (light caramel) with medium light body - An un-east coast IPA - firm bitterness with pine, grapefruit pith characteristics.
Nothing too much in the aroma some grapefruit and floral notes
Good beer nothing special to seek out ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA

Cascades and Goldings? Medium bodied, moderate bitterness. Flavors don’t suit my preferences. Bockyhorsey (2511), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 18, 2008 12oz bottle wife got me for Christmas. Decent ipa aroma and flavor were the the same a medium citrus and noticed a touch of some toast. Refreshing brew would be good with dinner at a brew pub imo. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 18, 2008 A little on the thin side, but overall pretty well balanced, with nothing overwhleming the other. The hops characteristics are kind of eccentric, with lots of cascade qualities. Very dry on the palate, but clean and crisp. Could use a bit more maltiness. beerguy101 (3872), Newark, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 14, 2008 This India Pale Ale pours a deep orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is citrusy and floral, very fresh. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are caramel, fruity and sweet. The hops are citrusy and grapefruity. It seems to be more hop forward than it used to be, but I have no notes and am going from an old memory here. Decent balance. This beer is hoppy without being over the top or over aggressive. Lively carbonation. It’s a touch grassy in the finish. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is dry and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
