| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 4, 2009 12 oz bottle: Aroma is pine, citrus hops, grassy, grainy with a hint of malts on the back end. Appearance is a golden/ amber with a medium sized white head that lingers around for quite a while. Taste is hops, earthy, some nutty malts, grassy, and a light amount of burnt quality. Palate is nice;y clotting with an aftertaste of light grassy hops. OVerall, Decent brew. Not the best IPA that I’ve had, but if offered I would definitely accept it.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 10, 2009 Sampled on 5/7/2009. This IPA pours a medium orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Medium to large sized white foamy head, with good retention. The aroma is citrusy and piney hops and iced tea. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are floral and grapefruity. Decent carbonation. Kind of muddy tasting. The hop bitterness is not balance by the malts. Not really enjoying this one, can’t quite place why, but its not working for me, perhaps it the muddy taste or the vegetative aspect of the fresh hops. It’s been in the fridge awhile so maybe that is a factor as well. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is bitter. hopdog (5557), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA

Poured a medium amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of fresh green hops, citrus, and I was getting a lighter butteriness. Tastes of fresh floral green hops, citrus, and a little earthy. Body on the thinner side. egajdzis (3625), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Sep 14, 2008 Like seems to be with most of the Butte Creek beers I’ve tried, not even close to being a clean beer. Aroma is a mess of spicy hops and caramel. Taste is first a bit of butterscotch and malt and hops come in second. I like the hops and there there is a nice bitter finish, but they could do much better. I hope. luttonm (288), Belgrade, Serbia

Pretty thin with mild hop, peppers. more creamy (like butter) than I’d like. expected color and head, HughConway (367), Washington, USA
