| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 29, 2008 Bottle via trade with mmm///beer. This brew pours a thick, hazy orange with a continual slow bubbling and a modest light head. The aroma is dominated by the hops, grapefruit and a sharp floral scent, with some sweet malt seeping through. The mouth feel is thick and fizzy, tickling the tongue. No definitive malt flavor shines through, but its sweetness adds some balance to the citric, earthy hop bitterness that takes over the taste. Nice bitter finish. Pretty good stuff.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 25, 2008 Pours a transparent bright copper orange with a spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty caramel malts with a touch of resiny, piny hops. Starts with good fullness and sweet crystal maltiness with a decent balance of piny bittering and flavor hops. Finishes with nice residual sweetness and a crisp bitterness. Certainly more on the maltier side of IPAs, but I like it. drfabulous (1274), Columbia, Missouri, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 25, 2008 Pretty malty for an IPA. Lingering bitter taste and dry mouth follow. Maybe a beer trying to hard? Settles oddly in your belly. mmmbeer (765), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 23, 2008 12 oz. poured into shaker (purchased at Liquor Barn- Louisville, KY)- poured transparent orange/amber color, small off white head formed and quietly bubbled away with some lacing, low carbonation. Aroma of floral hops, citrus, and malt. Hits the mouth with a low-medium body, malt comes in at first but quickly transforms into hops that strike the back on the tongue. Finish has a tendency to drop off, sharply. It’s welcome in my fridge anytime. timmydent (19), fishers, Indiana, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 22, 2008 Pint at the brewpub. Dark copper with heavy hops on the nose. Nice hop bite in the flavor with a fairly short clean finish. Decent I.P.A.
P.S. One of my favorite movies! DWestrick (242), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 11, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. I think this was being served from the beer engine. Pour was dark amber with a good off white head. The aroma and flavor are both very strong with citrus hops. The flavor was even kind of gooey. Medium body with an appropriate amount of carbonation. Dry finish. Really a nice beer.
