| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 3, 2000 Updated: Jan 25, 2004Glowing orange with a frothy, lasting head. Lively nose. Lovely mouthfeel: not too thick and syrupy and not too light. Sweet, cookie malts accented by very charismatic hops (floral, piney, grapefruity). Dry and bitter finish. Wonderful IPA!

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jan 15, 2009 Clear golden pour. Pretty stinky footy aroma mixed with piney hops. Poor malts underlie a nice load of hops, leaving this unbalanced. Clearly this rating goes against the general consensus here, so I may have got a contaminated bottle. I’ll have to try this again.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | May 17, 2006 Clear golden color, medium white head and a fair amount of lacing. Middle of the road pungent-ness. The aroma is solid Chinook type hops. This beer has the same hop aroma and hop taste profile as Stone’s Arrogant Bastard Ale although maybe toned down just a bit. But this beer does not have the same malt backbone. I taste a slight sweet caramel from lightly roasted malt grains. This is a really tasty IPA. Nice job (again!) Avery.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 19, 2008 Smells like a million other American IPAs. Tastes like a million other American IPAs with a Northwest hopface. Perfectly fine as a beer, and above-average for sure. Nice woodsy finish that might help me identify it in a lineup. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 10, 2004 Pours a deep golden amber with a nice fluffy egg white head and some great sticky lacing. Aroma is slightly medicinal, hoppy and finally dirty dishwater, also some peppermint and herbs upon second smell. This is a great over the top hoppy IPA with some very fresh lively acidity, citrusy zing and just slightly under-balanced on the malt side, but it works for it, as it comes through in a toasty, bready aftertaste. The finish is very crisp and dry, leaving you wanting more. Very nice and clean! Suttree (2743), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 4, 2003 Orange and light tan head. Fuity citrus flavors at the start, then a sturdy chalky flavor all the way to the finish. Maybe a little mint, as well. Clean finish. michael-pollack (2733), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 22, 2006 12oz. Bottle: Huge hop aroma. Hints of apricot, citrus, and resin. No malt scent. Light brown/copper color. Clear, but looks a little thin too. Sparkling. Huge, dense, off-white head. Great lacing. Tastes of citrus and hops. Also quite piney. Very tasty and quite bitter. Light body. A little thin. Malty-sweet, slightly dry finish that lasted. Overall, a really good IPA.
