| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 23, 2007 Deep orange amber with a rocky off-white head that laces the length of the glass. Huge aroma of fresh passionfruit and tangerines. Solid sweet malt base with deliciously fruity hops leading into a very bitter woody finish. A delicious IPA. cathcacr (588), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 22, 2007 Nice, well-balanced, partly sweet, partly citrusy, generous head and lacing, non-abrasive finish. Very easy to put down quite fast. Almost right there at the level with Nectar Ales IPA.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2007 Bottle poured into a shaker glass. Pours an amber/copper colour with a thin white head and good lacing. Aroma was sweet pine. Grapfruit bitterness in the flavour was very nice with a fruity, sweet finish. Really exciting IPA, especially if you aren’t a fan of pungent, strongly bitter hops. CelticBrew (695), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 19, 2007 Pours dark amber, somewhat hazy. Aroma of flowers, caramel, some hops and wet forrest. Flavor is full bodied, sweet, hops and a bit of pine flowers come through. Somewhat "light" IPA, doesn’t dominate with bitters. A very drinkable IPA, however I enjoy my IPA’s a bit more pungent. Overall not a bad beer. drfabulous (1243), Columbia, Missouri, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 14, 2007 Hopped. Fairly decent finish. Not the greatest IPA I ever had, but who knew Montana was in the game? I do know. CasperQuaffer (142), Casper, Wyoming, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 13, 2007 Amber-copper color with sculpted head. Aroma fruity with a strong floral overtone. Flavor unexpectedly sweet, almost candy-like. This is one of the few beers I’ve tasted that the sweetness is bearable, probably due to the tangy hops. Good body on the palate. Taverner (847), San Ramon, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 12, 2007 Slightly cloudy, but mostly clear. Deep burnt amber color. Biscuit head. Strong resinous pine flavor. A decent earthy IPA. sneagrams3 (1756), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 6, 2007 Tasted 9/21/07. 12oz bottle. Clear with a deep amber hue. Layer of bone white head. Decent hop nose. Nuances of bright red fruit, oranges and a touch spicy and piney. Medium bodied and well blended. Long bitter hop finish. Spicy and slightly peppery. Nice hop blend. Mild bready malts. Smooth rolling transition until the very end when it exploades bitterness across the tongue. Slightly sour, off-putting note. Almost dirty mop water. Is that too negative? More so an earthy hop flavor. But still nice.
