| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 20, 2007 Brightish gold color with a slight amber orangey cast to it. Small, slimming cap of off-white foam. A whispy skim is always present and the lace is adequately placed across the glass in some boney fingered strings and lots of spots.
Aroma is dullish of orange peels and a touch of grapefruity pineyness. Notes to melony sweetness, smokey resin touches, and some toasted grains and grassyness.
Taste is rounded well with a clean, unbittered hop tone of lightly crunchy and fairly crisp hopped up leafyness which is squeezing out some softly delicate touches of orangeyness and red grapefruit. Notes of toasted malt and pine merge well in the finish and lingers there for a decent length of impression.
Clean, crunchy, crisp, and rounded with a nice balance all wrapped in a solid medium body. Keeps a good, firm tone and grab the whole way through and has a nice complexing, low-ended bitter pined finish that lasts well and keeps ya coming back for more.
A very good drinking IPA due to its lower bitterness and firm clean body and taste. RCL (1496), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 1, 2009 Draught at the New York Wine and Culinary Center. Medium copper color. Big grapefruit nose; frgrant hops. Lots of fruit with enough nice malt in the background. Very fruity flavor--mostly tropical, sweet and cloying with a bitter finish. Too sweet and fruity for me, and not very well integrated, though the hop character is original. TheEpeeist (1489), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA
