Also--fantastic beer, one of the most incredible IPAs I’ve had in a long long time. Rosy and flowery to the taste, aroma, mouth, but still has a heart of hops. Well done. millerclmb (44), Boulder, Missouri, USA

Wonderfully smooth. The best IPA I have tried. green (187), Boston, Massachusetts, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 27, 2005 Lightly chilled. Very light copper color. Big Hops aroma on the piney side. Surprising mouthfell much thicker that the color suggests. On the edge of resinous, which, for me, is perfection. Very little malt presence and would almost seem to be an APA if the hops were more citric. One of the most drinkable IPAs I have had and a personal favorite for session-type ales. bigrond (1055), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 26, 2006 Pours a clear copper, two finger ivory dense and rocky head. Chunky lace. Smells of big hops. Citrusy, tangerine and orange rind.
Nice malt taste and sweet citrus hops followed quickly by the strong bite of bitterness. Long lingering herbal bitterness. Very drinkable. Tasty IPA one of the better I’ve had in awhile. MattShizzle (385), Bernville, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 30, 2006 Bottle. Golden color. Floral hop aroma. This was surprisingly and pleasantly malty for an IPA without lacking hop presence. A nice herbal, grassy, hop flavor with a clean malt finish. One of the best IPA’s I’ve had.
