| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 12, 2009 Aroma: Complex with prominent floral aroma, malt, piney and grassy notes.
Appearance: Deep copper with white creamy head with thick lacing. The head persist providing a little head with every swallow.
Flavor: The initial taste whacks you in the pallet with hoppy goodness, I could taste the hops. As the beer is drank the strong malt back bone surfaces, providing the canvass that showcases the American hops.
Mouth feel: Full body with a bitter finish that leaves the impression of a crisper body
Overall Impression: It’s the classic American IPA. Big hops with a strong malt back bone that compliment the other. This is beer that has a strong well balanced flavor, and drink-ability. I plan to try others beers from the brewery.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 5, 2009 On tap at Mahars. Hop and grapefruit with a nice dryness. Very rich flavours, and a nice smooth mid-palate that I will chalk up to the "honey drenched malts". Very tasty, slow drinking IPA. fiver29 (724), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

Head clings to the glass as you drink it. Aroma is lemony citrus hops. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is more citrus hop flavor, some caramel (but oh, ever so slightly), and finishes with a hop bite. Nice IPA. Hophead22 (1090), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 2, 2009 Bottle. Pours golden-orange and slightly fuzzy with a nice lasting, whiteish head. Aroma is nicely floral, hoppy and citric. On firm, biscuity, slightly sweet malt base lies a delicious, bitter hoppiness tingling your tongue bitterly. Aftertaste could’ve been longer. However, this is a hoppy, solid IPA. Birdiebeagle (788), Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA

Has a good hoppy aroma of citrus and a hint of honey malts. Has a good carbination, and a solid mouthfeel. Has a medium body. A real nice hoppy flavor and is blended very well. Has an oily texture. A nice bitter finish. This is a solid IPA.
