| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 21, 2007 Attractive golden hue. Crisp and hoppy. Reasonable alcohol level makes it quite refreshing and easy drinking for an American India Pale Ale. Sweet malt glimmers through the hoppy taste. Lots of floral and fruity tastes to enjoy.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Dec 5, 2002 Really pretty golden beer with a crisp white head. Flavor was thin and simple, with subtle malt and hop. Finishes bitter. I love most IPAs, and this one is quite drinkable but nothing special. Go get a Stone or a Victory Hop Devil, depending on which coast is closer. Brigadier (1246), Chagrin Falls, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 17, 2005 Bottle from Brennan’s on the west side of Madison. Pours a hazy color. Pretty good overall for an IPA. durhambeer (1229), Durham, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2008 Bottle. Fairly light golden orange pour with very minimal head. Nose was strongly reminiscent of Hopslam’s fruit aromas to me, albeit a watered down version of course. Grapefruit and mango but definite pine/resin, too. Oddly, I passed it to my wife for a sip and when she passed it back to me I got a floral explosion on the nose that I hadn’t detected before. Fruit almost disappears on the palate with the pine really dominating until the fruit reappears on the back of the palate/sides of the tongue at the end of each taste. Slight metallic/soapy edge there, as well, though, and a little watery. Nice and bitter if that’s your bag. I’d drink again but definitely reach for a Dogfish 60 or a Two Hearted first.
