| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 5, 2005 Bottle. Nice hopppy aroma of citrus fruits with a thick, lasting head which produced nice lacing throughout. Clear amber color. Taste is mostly on the pine side with some toased malts. Not great but enjoyable. Pailhead (2609), Allen Park, Michigan, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 3, 2005 Bottle: Decent hop and lots of malt aroma almost give it a light orange juice smell. Pours a mostly transparent orange, just a slight haze. Small off-white head. Nice lacing. While the aroma is very malty, not a ton of malt in the flavor. Real big hop finish is more pine than citrus. With so much hops and very little malt, balance needs improving. Thanks to wolhfs. 11026 (1779), Alabama, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 28, 2005 Bottle. Nice orange amber color. Off-white head leaves good lacing. Medium bodied. Aroma is different, not hop, not malt and not a balance of hop and malt. I can’t really place it. Sourish, citrus rind bitterness throughout. Decent malt. This is a decent IPA, in my opinion it just needs a little refinement. rudolf (1784), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jan 20, 2005 Not much of a nose here - perhaps a little fruit. I suppose this is an english pale? Toasty malt, light herbal hops. A bit of cherry. not something I’d purchase Lubiere (4551), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 14, 2004 Golden with reddish hue, with no aroma, but decent hops and grapefruits, lacks malts, unbalanced. (July 31 at Indiana Microbrewers Festival) igneous1 (1374), Davenport, Iowa, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 23, 2004 color is a caramel, with a minimal beige head. aroma is mild with pine notes, maybe a little butter...malts are pretty subdued. Flavor has a little honeydew, some citrus, some butter, and slightly vegetal in the finish. hops are pretty subdued in the flavor. not hoppy enough for me...decent effort though.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 12, 2004 Bottle. Heavy yeast at the bottom. So much that I had to decant too much. Anyway, very thin body, no head to speak of. Not a whole lot of maltiness to balance the hops, which all appear at the end...too bitter with not enough aroma. 5000 (2600), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 20, 2004 Bottle pours a hazy orangish yellow with a very minor dishwater like head. Carbonation is almost non-existant and the lacing is so-so. Major piney aroma, very similar to cat urine. Initial taste is somewhat piney, but not hoppy. Very earthy in the middle, or basement like. Some mild hop bitterness & pine resin follows through at the end. Mouthfeel is fine, and its definately not watery, but that aroma just makes me think of the days when the cats were let loose on the furniture. Thanks goes out to acrodizer for the trade!
