| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 9, 2005 reddish amber, thin layer of white head, strong pine hop nose, malts backing it up very well. an excellent blend with a nice balance and just enough hops to get you to notice them in the tail, but not overwhelming in the bitterness dept. i really dont think this is an 80 ibu beer, but it is a nice easy smooth drinking beer.

Some citrus notes also present. Taste was also very floral with some malt to balance out some of the hops. Lightly bitter, nothing overdone. Solid brew.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 6, 2005 Thanks to Secret Santa for this beer.
Poured a clear effervescent dark amber with a large semi-creamy off-white head. Clean piney hops aroma. Flavor is very dry, piney and bitter. Just a touch of sweetness helps to balance the good hop bitterness. Perhaps a little too dry and straight-forward, but this is a darn good beer. SuIIy (1473), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 18, 2005 22oz bottle acquired in trade with OhioDad (thanks!). Poured a dark and hazy amber color with an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of juicy oranges, grapefruit and light caramel. Tastes of grapefruits (stronger in the taste than the smell), oranges, caramel, and some pine. Medium bitter with a light sweetness to it. beeryum (652), Norcross, Georgia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 16, 2005 Bottle. Dark hazy ambery pour. Intriguing aroma of grapefruit citrus, citrus rind, and maybe hints of caramel. I enjoyed the flavor even more though. Sweet light-caramel / molasses, and some almost sugary-sweetness. Balanced by a huge dose of piney and citrusy hops. A good bitter bite that is clean, and lingers a little, but not forever. Very nice IPA.
