| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 10, 2008 Pours to a lovely, inviting hue of mandarin orange. Brightly hazed, like the sun through fog; a thin film of milk foam. Aroma is dried out green spices, grassy minerals, cotton candy, graham cracker and cookie dough. Balanced and quite understated. Flavor is a barren but soft bitterness of dried grass and pinecone hops; hints of jasmine tea, rosewater, and sesame seeds. Vague buttery sweetness riding on burnt corn kernels. Plenty of raw, bitter grapefruit and tangerine zest, but no real fruit qualities. Some wetter sweetness of malt leaks in on the mid palate with toffee and honey. Palate is creamy and dry; light to medium in body, and brisk. Finishes with a pleasant floral hop perfume; putting aside the dying whimpers of diacetyl and the hop presence that could stand a little more freshness, this is a refreshing, careful and delicate example.

Reminds me of 60 minute IPA blended well but a little short on punch. Still a good brew. dmac (1488), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 30, 2008 12 oz bottle purchased at EZ Liquors. Pours a clear reddish amber with a large frothy off white head. Boozy aroma especially for a beer thats only 6.2%, vegtable notes, grains, caramel and old hops. Flavor thankfully is a step up from the aroma with notes of caramel, hops, and grainy bread. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a bitter finish. Solid IPA but don’t go knocking down any doors to get this one but also don’t pass it up if someone offers you one. kevd193213 (504), Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA

I loved this beer the first time I had it, when I started drinking real IPAs. However, my second run through was less exciting. Still a good brew, but not what I remembered it to be. Smells very strongly of hops, fresh and crisp. Nice bitter taste. Smooth beer, good level of carbonation, good mouthfeel. Overall a very drinkable IPA, especially when first being introduced to the style.
