| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 4, 2005 Bottle. Pale amber colour. White longlasting head. Lots floral hops in the aroma. Crisp dry hoppy flavour with a malty background. It has a nice bitter aftertaste and a little warming too. Very nice IPA. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 6, 2004 Pours dark straw colored, with great head and great lacing. Aromas of lemon, hops, yeast, and pronounced grapefruit. Tastes extremely hoppy (as hoppy as Tupper's and Sierra Nevada), with citrus hints. Finishes very smooth, hoppy, citrusy, and slightly dry. I'm going to do a side by side with this, Sierra Nevada, Tupper's, and Stone's. When that happens, I'll post in the forums. A hall of fame IPA. ChristianScheffel (4632), Odense, Denmark
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 20, 2006 Golden beer with a medium white head. Intense and complex aroma, with hops, lemon, peach, flowers (jasmine?), and pine. There is a hint of flowery sweetness in the flavour, but it is quickly dominated by bitterness, as it should be. Long lasting hops aftertaste.
I drank it from my third favourite glass - I wonder what magic it could have done in my favourite glass as it demands... Lubiere (4549), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 24, 2002 Updated: Feb 10, 2007Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear dark yellow. Aroma is moderately hoppy (resin, grapefruit), lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly yeasty (dough). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter, lightly to moderately acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately to heavily bitter, lightly to moderately acidic. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly astringent. Very citric, grapefruit-juicy. Not my thing, but good for what it is. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 27, 2006 Draught pint at The Moan and Dove, August 2006. Medium hazy amber with a moderate lasting white head and some purty lacing....stinky, pungent hoppy aroma, bathroom odors (the good ones if you understand), wet spruce and leather/suede, really interesting....sweet, nicely full body, juicy with a bit of that raw pungency but also some nice sharp fruitiness and a strong acerbic grassiness towards the finish....low to moderate carbonation, very solid and better than I’d expected. motelpogo (4395), Plzen, Czech Republic
