| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 5, 2005 Golden-brown, honey-like color with a medium-thick, white head. Smells of citrus lemon and pineapple - refreshingly fruity. Taste is all hops, grassy, pinecones and pineapple. Lots of carbonation and biting tongue flavors. Solid beer, malt is a bit watery. mjg74 (2000), La Mesa, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 27, 2004 Pours a pale golden color. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a slighty hoppy presence. Flavor is dominated by hops. Somewhat piney and citric as well. Also has a hint of sweetness. Very drinkable brew. SDalkoholic (1198), Chula Vista, California, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 21, 2004 Aroma is faint and dull. Light yellow/light orange hue with a small cloudy haze and absoutely no head. This taste very flat to me and only flavor im getting is a cold flat bitterness across my tongue. Must be a old pint. Will re-rate later. Now if only i could find a place that still carries it. omhper (12299), Stockholm, Sweden
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 12, 2004 Bottled. Golden colour, creamy head. Appley nose with some grass. Sweet with light body and lightly rounded mouthfeel. Lightly orangey finish with medium bitterness. I am getting increasingly underwhelmed by Anderson Valley’s products, which I used to love. This beer I both could, and intend to, live without in the future. rudolf (1786), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 9, 2004 Ahh, hops. How I’ve missed your dominating character in some of my more recent rates. I promise I’ll never leave you this long again.
Slight toasted malt. Spicy hops. Finish could have a bit more malt to balance out the bitter grapefruit. Not great but my first IPA in too long. motelpogo (4399), Plzen, Czech Republic

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Aug 20, 2004 Farm fresh grassy and pine aroma. Clear light golden in color. Crispy, leafy hop flavor - very tangy and citric. Lingers nicely. Light in body and tingly on the tongue. This beer is a pale ale winner.
