| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 29, 2006 Pours a hazy golden color with an off white head which faded to a light film pretty quick. Has a citrus hop aroma. Flavor is mainly hops. Very little malt to back the hops. Has a dry bitter finish. Light to medium body. Worth pickin’ up a 6 when on sale. bhensonb (4365), Woodland, California, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 27, 2006 Aroma of spicy grapefruit. Hazy golden apricot color. Flavor of grapefruit and evergreen. Fresh. A swish brings chewiness. Midtaste is slightly sweet, but the finish is fresh and bitter. It is one of the best. jpm30 (1588), East Central, Georgia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 27, 2006 From an embossed slender 12oz. brown bottle with a blurb on the neck label and a coded bottled/freshness date on the back label, sampled with the yeast poured in.
Made a good appearance, poured a hazy golden orange with a foamy pale tannish white head that settled into a thin foamy, bubbly lacing, moderate carbonation.
Had a grainy, caramelized malty and fruity, earthy nose with a little butteriness at the edges.
A crisp, hop textured and creamy smooth medium bodied mouth feel, very good drinkability.
Lightly fruity and earthy tea-like bitter taste in the forefront, a quick, biting bitterness that smoothes out during the taste, a bready and caramelized maltiness that nicely compliments the hops, a nutty butteriness towards the end and a earthy bitter and malty finish.
Tasty and smooth, a very nice AIPA from Bridgeport, would make a great everyday IPA.

Very refreshing on the palate. Excellent finish. Well balanced and easy to drink. All in all a good IPA. BigBastard (668), L.A., California, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 7, 2006 (bottle - 12 oz) Cloudy gold color with a very thin film of white foam. Aroma is very floral, hoppy, and citrusy. Nice and peppery. The hops are very prevalent at the front of the flavor with a very nice and semi-sweet floral and citrus middle and a bitter and peppery hop finish. Aftertaste leaves a nice hoppy bitterness on the tongue. Thanks Dan. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 5, 2006 Nice rich golden color with a moderate white head that lasted the entire glass. Aroma is a faint citrus and hops blend that teases the nose before the first sip. Taste is a great balance of citrus, malt, florals, and hops. The best part is definitely the crisp hop flavor. This is now one of my favorite IPA’s.
