| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 10, 2009 Clouded orange amber with slight head. Quite disappointed in this, not as hoppy, sharp as I expected, really fairly flabby. Sweetish malty base to the beer with a tea like slightly boiled, over extracted hop almost to oilyness. Vanilla, orange in the background flavours. Just about ok.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 10, 2009 Very nice it’s been awhile since i’ve had this.The nose is of nice dry hops. Pours a light golden amber with a nice head and great lacing.Taste is very well balanced between vivacious hops and a good malt backbone. Stands the test of time. smcolw (366), Wayland, Massachusetts, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 8, 2009 Appearance--A light bronze amber with a touch of cloudiness. An underperforming head that dissipates quickly, although it creates beautiful, if short-lasting, lace.
Smell--predominately hop as expected. Nice balance for an American IPA.
Taste--Wonderfully complex with a light malt up front and a strong lingering bitter aftertaste from the hops.
Mouthfeel--Surprisingly chewy for this style; coats the palate
Drinkability--Delicious and refreshing, the heaviness would work well with spicier foods. I believe this would be an excellent choice with lamb. angrypirate06 (781), Texas, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 30, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a see-through yellow-gold body with a two finger-width head that dissipates slowly and leaves a lot of streaky lacing. Aroma is bright and light flowery citrus. Light malts, but mostly a distinct cascase hop, lemony orange aroma. Flavor is quite citrusy. Lots of lemons and sour oranges with a light pale maltiness. Sweet and citrusy aftertaste. Very balanced for such a light, fizzy body. Prickly carbonation. Overall, a very solid beer. There are definitely better APA’s out there, but this is quite citrusy and well balanced. Nice stuff.

Aroma is light pine and citrus hop over pale malt.
Nice herbal-citrus hop flavour.
Medium bodies with good strong bitter finish.
