| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 24, 2004 Thanks to Rockinout for this specimen. Poured a deep orange color. Nice off-white head, lasts forever. Aroma is like opening a bag of hop leafs. Nice malt bill. Sweet malt for an instant then the hop assault. Hops linger pleasantly. Damn nice job. I am eager to try the Buckeye 76 tomorrow. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 23, 2004 Thanks to BBB63 for this one. Pours turbid orangish with a massive head. Aroma of malt, hops, citrus. Tastes hoppy, with a solid malt backbone, and some finishing hops and a slight Belgian strong ale twinge. The palate is firm and smooth. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 15, 2004 Dark orange. Grapefruit and peach nose, smooth aroma of cream and orange, very spicy as well. Mellow burnt orange with light sweet spices. Kalli (477), Falun, Sweden
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 14, 2004 Solid fruity aroma, complimented by the hops. A hint of caramel also.
Malty caramel background, but the hops feel too "mountain fresh" for my taste. Fairly typical in my opinion. BückDich (4848), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 29, 2004 Bottle @ RBSG 04’ Grand Tasting Golden bronze, light film of head/lacing. The aroma is nice & hoppy with a citrusy light hops nose & some balanced caramel malts. The light oak finish with the sweetness & the hops works very well. Good IPA.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 28, 2004 Gentle grapefruit nose. Smooth, easy-to-drink body. Yeasty and earthy notes throughout. Malts had a gritty chalkiness to them (not a bad thing), and some really nice hints of chocolate. Sweet malt base. Light grapefruit aromas. Surely had an element of hippie-granola-ness to it; kind of hard to explain, but it fit the name. Sweetness became a little much, but overall it was pretty decent. argo0 (6907), Washington DC, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 24, 2004 (RBSG04) Clear amber body with big off-white head. Aroma is sweet, grapefruit/herbal. Taste is sweet, grapefruit, orange, caramel. Medium-full body with decent amount of resin.
