| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 11, 2009 Pours a clear orange with a thin white head. Aroma is that of floral hops, slight citrus, and a surprisingly malty backbone. Drinks very crisp. Has a full mouth feel of bitter hops and a slight honey flavor. An OK IPA, could use some more complexity, kinda boring in my opinion. Comes up lacking something. probstk (1064), Nepean, Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 11, 2009 Sampled at Flour City Beer Festival (Rochester). AU15/08.
App.: Clear golden, tiny white head.
Aroma: Pine hops, some grapefruit, definitely resinous, some burnt sugar but the malts take a backseat to the hops.
Palate: Medium+ body, moderate carbonation.
Flav.: Much more malt than the nose, still plenty of pine and resin hops; nice hops/caramel aftertaste and OK bitterness.

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Feb 7, 2009 Bright and bubbly, one of my very favorite IPAs. I like a little sweet citrus flavor in this style. Just about as good as an IPA can be.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 4, 2009 From my beer stash on my push to 100. Served myself in my trusty SA glass. Poured fairly clear and golden. The head was foamy and left some nice, sticky lacing. The aroma was citrus/ orange, almost tangerine, and grapefriut on top of some sweet and caramelly malt. The flavor added just a touch of resin and an intense hop bitterness. The body was medium to light, with lively carbonation. The finish was bitter, but pleasantly so since the palate had been well conditioned.This bottle was a number of months old, but shelved well and didn’t lose any of the favorable hop bitterness that I love. Up there on my list of favorite IPAs. osu97gp (178), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
