| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 24, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a clear orange golden with a nice tall sticky frothy white head, looks like whipped egg-whites. Aroma of malt flour and some light citrus, on the bright tropical side. Flavor is very earthy, fairly bitter, some very noticeable alcohol, papaya, cantaloupe for sure, malty flavor. Medium bodied, light softer carbonation, not stickiness and only slightly viscous. I’m sure this is way better fresh. joeymacaroni (228), Wagontown, Pennsylvania, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 20, 2009 [bottle only (no glass)] Unfortunately I drank this at a BBQ with no glass. The IPA was a little bitter and almost made my mouth pucker. Aroma from the bottle is a little earthy and hoppy. Not bad for an IPA, though I am not a huge fan of IPAs in the first place. jetzler (622), oklahoma city, Oklahoma, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 20, 2009 Draft, light copper color, great flavor, nice hops light and an easy drinker, a decent IPA. roder60 (1030), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 17, 2009 Pours a light copper color slight offwhite head. Aroma is piney, citrus, and a tad bit of spices. Flavor is dominated by earthy resiny hops, followed by a slightly sweet malt base then a dry bitter finish. Overall, this is a decent IPA, but I had this side by side with a bear republic racer 5 which probably made this seem a bit more lackluster than it really was. drowland (1429), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 15, 2009 Had a 12oz bottle into a pint glass at my sister in-law’s birthday party and I wasn’t all that impressed as far as IPAs go.
