Aroma is sweet and bready, with orange and caramel. Flavor is VERY sweet....sweetest IPA I believe I may have ever had. Really could use some additional bitterness to dry it out a little. Enjoyable brew though. msante79 (855), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA

Aromas is light hops, citrus, grapefruit, caramel and sweet malt. Flavor is floral hops, citrus, orange zest, sweet and caramel malts. Really nice mouthfeel and carbonation. All they need to do is double the hops and they could be a great IPA. Really nice malt profile and is still a very refreshing brew. alobar (1053), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 3, 2009 Pours copper color-clear. Tall soapy head. Aroma of hops, grass, and citrus. Reasonably well-balanced with citrus and hops bitterness. canary dog (445), Rutland, Vermont, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 1, 2009 Good sturdy head; impressive golden hue. Body is full but the balance is off. Uneven finish and strange grassy notes dominate this beer’s profile. A very weird and unpleasant lingering finish in the back of the mouth. Maybe I should try this at a slightly higher temp? Nice brussels lace and migration around the mug.
