Taste is very malty with perfect hop flavoring. the finish is sorta dry but well balanced. I grabbed this as a impulse buy not expecting much from it; it was pleasantly suprised how good this beer is. FLnative80 (174), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 30, 2008 Bottle. 12 fl. oz. Dark amber color with a nice thick, frothy, white head with excellent lacing and longevity. Piney, hoppy aroma. The body is a little thin and it finishes pretty dry. The flavor is a nice balance of malty sweet caramel and bitter, grassy, piney hops. A solid pale ale. VitaminR (446), Colorado, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 25, 2008 Sweet caramel resin nose, with fresh floral notes. Orangy amber with slight haze and medium head. Perfect sweet malt and hop bitterness, with hop aromas adding a nice complement. Bubbly carbonation with a medium to full mouth feel. Long smooth delicate finish. Easy drinking, nice balance of piney and floral hops creating a subtly complex beer. bigtaster (184), Grand Rapids, USA

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 25, 2008 This is a surprisingly quality beer! I was expecting something more along the lines of Purple Haze, a marketing scam for hippies and Hendrix fans. I do say though - the thing with this beer is that it is has both style and substance. I don’t exactly like the style it has, but it is a beautiful beer when you hold it up to the light. Great cloudy colour with nice head. It is hoppy, but lighter than many IPAs (I am not a fan of IPAs but I do like this APA). On the whole, really impressed by this APA. GJF (520), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | May 24, 2008 Updated: Jul 21, 2008I had heard the buzz about this for a long time but it was always out of stock at John’s Grocery (I guess which added to the hype). It’s a solid beer, but I don’t think it lives up to the hype. Lots of grassy hop flavor to it, with a dry hoppy finish; fairly standard IPA style. JJClark (546), Roscoe, Illinois, USA
