| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 3, 2008 Bottle from BigErn. Pours a deep amber color with small white head. Malty nose with mixed citrus and floral hops. Flavor is pretty much the same, and the malt and hops work pretty well together, although I feel this is more malty than hoppy. Still a good IPA. padrefan98 (788), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 8, 2008 65 cl bottle. Clear amber colour with a nice fine white head. Light hoppy aroma with notes of flower. Flavour of hops and hints of yeast, ends up quite thin body and little sweet and medium bitter also notes of alcohol are present here. joshwilfong (797), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 29, 2008 dark amber appearance with slight white head. flavor is unique for an ipa because it consists greatly of a nice caramel malt, which as involved in the overall flavor as the hop finish. the hop character is nothing extraordinary, has a decent flora flavor and also adds some bitterness. the malt component makes this beer unique for an ipa, but overall is just a decent ipa Cletus (5058), Connecticut, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 4, 2008 Bottle from BeerVirgin. Aroma is surprisingly malty, way too much for an IPA if you ask me. Much more like an amber. Disturbingly chocolately. Flavor has big but bland hops, quite bitter, with that annoying crystal malt body sitting in the back. This beer has a real lack of personality.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Dec 24, 2007 Shared with aspidites, BeerDaveC007 and my brother who doesn’t rate for some damned reason. Anyways, this beer was a big disappointment. No where near what I expect an IPA to be, it was at best an APA and a pretty below average one at that. The nose started out incredibly soapy. Some floral notes mingled with the soapy aroma and the sweet malts showed up too. Appearance was a brownish/red hue and a nice two-finger thick head. Flavors were more soap, with some really subtle hop notes of citrus. No malt bill at all. A really dumbed down IPA and pretty disappointing.
