| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 5, 2008 Sadly unimpressive. Nice orange pour with a big puffy head. Aroma is hops with a ton of malt. The flavor was the same, except it had a very soapy back with a sweet aftertaste. More wood than resin, typical of the organics. Not my kind of IPA. daknole (3000), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 2, 2008 bottle from total wine. nice amberish pour with a good white head. aroma is very hoppy wtih some citrus and earthy notes. Flavor is not what I expected from the nose. It is kind of messy in my opinion. The hops and malt seem to be battling for a place on your tongue and not working together. Its weird. Maybe the choice of malts didnt work? cking (1041), North Canton, Ohio, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 27, 2008 Excited to find singles of this offering during a recent weekend stay in the town where I grew up. A couple of hoppy glasses of beer sounded just right, unfortunately this IPA struggled to make the standard pale ale grade. Grainy, grapefruity aroma this is pleasant but a bit timid. Minor notes of evergreen and orange peel. Nice light copper pour with a frothy white head and good lacing. Soapy mouth feel, and not very bitter. Real let down considering I was paying for hops. Flavor was good for a beer, not too good for an IPA. Nutty malts with a good biscuit quality. Some floral and fruity hop notes. Need to change the label to ’’Ale’’.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 14, 2008 This bottle is a part of the single hop series featuring Amarillo hops. Pours a SQL injection fighting amber with mild floral hops aroma. Definitely a crisp hop taste but seems to need a bit more malt to mellow it out. unclemattie (2432), Georgia, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 1, 2008 @Indiana Beerfest-12oz bottle-pours a rich to patchy off white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is caramel-medium malt, secondary pine hops. Taste is caramel-medium malt, secondary pine hops with detractors-comes across as a dry/bitter/malty APA with over boiled hops. OK carbonation. doubleo (1121), San Diego, California, USA
