| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 3, 2008 12 oz bottle. Hazy golden color with a full white head. Earthy malty aroma. Flavor is more fruity hops. Clean bitter finish. mgermani (865), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 25, 2008 Pours a slightly hazy straw-yellow with a very nice head & lacing. Sweet malty & fresh hop aroma. Taste is similar - good astringent hops, very fresh & leafy, with lagerish-type malting. Creamy body with good carbonation. A rather straightforward IPA, the "European" malts are definitely a bit off-putting with Pacific Northwest hops, but otherwise tasty. TheEpeeist (1484), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 24, 2008 12 oz bottle. Clear pale yellow with a huge craggy meringue head. Nose is lemon and cereal. Medium light with a bracing fizz. Taste is orange and mango with lemon pith drying. beerbill (1976), Laurel, New York, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 21, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a moderate white head that lasted to the bottom of the glass and left lots of sticky lace. Light but pleasant aroma of citrus. The flavor is very bland, especially for an IPA. Not bad, just bland. Very, very light malt and no detectable citrus. Bitter at the finish, but again, without flavor. Kind of like chewing on the pith of a grapefruit. Dull and uninteresting.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 19, 2008 12 oz bottle: poured a slightly hazy yellow orange with a small off white head. Medicinal aroma which later turned into a bourbonesque aroma. I don’t detect any citrus anywhere. Flavor is ......what? Certainly not hoppy. Mostly malt with decent bitterness in the finish. Reminds me more of an English IPA which is not dominated by citrusy, piney hops. Eh, I’ve had better. barleyPops (1081), Quad-Cities, Illinois, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 15, 2008 12 oz. bottle obtained in a beer exchange with some none beer geek friends. pours a hazy gold with an off white head, fading to a soapy looking, lingering lace. nose if grass and perfume. flavor is malty with too much perfume character and some metallic notes present. carbonation is way over the top. glad I only have one bottle.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 10, 2008 Pours light witha small fizzy head. Metallic smell. Nice smiooth hoppy flavor, not too much of a bite. If you are a hop lover you may want to skip this one as the hop flavor is light, not bad, but light. Good way to quench a thirst after splitting fierwood all day!! 00cobraR (1098), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Feb 6, 2008 this bottle had too much carbonation. As soon as I opened it the suds flowed right out the bottle and filled my glass. Poured out a slightly cloudy amber color with huge head. Aroma was grassy and full of citrus. Flavor was the same. Not nearly as hoppy as i was hoping for. Finish was dry.
