brewblackhole (1367), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA Aug 1, 2006 Soft but distinct tangy,floral hop aroma, subdued tangy hops with a slight sweet carmel malt overtone,light zingy and refreshing JB175 (1654), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 27, 2006 On Tap at Isaac Newtons. No hop monster, but smooth and well balanced. Just a bit sweet, and pleasantly hoppy with some good citrus flavor. Good overall IPA. aracauna (2357), Georgia, USA Jul 18, 2006 Full amber with some suspended yeasties or whatever. The aroma is fairly stinging hops. The malt balances the hop bitterness well. The hops are a little harsh, but not too much so. sheatripper (863), Brooklyn, New York, USA Jul 4, 2006 Orange with a thick off-white head. Spotty lacing. Aroma of sweet grapefruit and pine resin. Sweet malts and spice flavours balanced out the hops, maybe a little too much so, and there was some residual yeast on the finish (though it could just be from this specific rack). Palate was basically watery for the style, but this beer is still very drinkable and it might appeal to those pale ale drinkers turned off by the "hop bombs" of some IPAs. TheBeerGod (3143), Newport News, Virginia, USA Jun 28, 2006 Bottle at Max’s. Golden bodied with a small white head. Nose is hoppy and citrusy with sweet malts abound. Taste is hoppy with citrus fuits, sweet malts, and light caramel. Body is medium with moderate carbonation and a light lingering bitterness. Finishes with more hoppy notes, sweet malts, light citrus and caramel. Numenor (869), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jun 19, 2006 Cask @ The Old Toad -- Great aroma, nice bitter accents. Pale ruby-gold body with a tan head. Smooth body and good taste, but not with the typical IPA bite associated with most. Smooth ending, very nice overall. jeffc666 (1886), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Jun 19, 2006 Cloludy amber with a dense clinging off-white head. The aroma is sweet and hoppy, citrus and exotic fruits dominate. The flavor is pretty nice with the exotic fruit coming through (lychee?) in the middle and the malt making a welcom apperance late. Nice malt balance. Maybe a tad thin but otherwise a solid nice IPA. da845 (139), new york, New York, USA Jun 18, 2006 very floral and fruity aroma. pale, clear, rocky head, white foam, lightly bitter, medium body, bitter,
