| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Bottle a few days ago. Good IPA. I’m wondering what Sculpin will be like, since apparently neither is a DIPA. Pretty moderate for a west coast IPA. Thumbs up. arrogantb (712), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 1, 2009 I walked into a 7-11 in San Diego and was amazed to see something of this caliber (I’m from Colorado). Nice orange color with citrus aromas. Taste was weaker than I expected, because I always assume San Diego IPA’s have to be stellar. Still, nice flavors of citrus hops with a good malty body.This one was good but not spectacular.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 8/20 | Aug 19, 2009 Had heard a whole lot of good about this IPA and was quite eager to pick one up finally. Pours a pale and very hazy copper with a rocky white head. Aroma smells of candy malt sweetness and some fainter hints of citrus hops - tangerine, orange, and lemons in particular. Taste is over-whelmingly sweet and cloying. Definite taste of sweet tarts. This clashes horribly with the hops. This was a real letdown and I wonder if it was intended this way. I certainly hope not. I don’t think that I can finish the glass, let alone the bottle, and that saddens me greatly. wwwdottom (27), Breese, Illinois, USA
