Score: 2.9 to 3.2
hazy dark gold, big creamy off white head, lots of spidery lace,
sweet crystal malt aroma with tons of citrus hops,
rich crystal malt flavor, nice malt sweetness is well balanced by lots of citrus hop flavor leading into a big bitterness, lasting bitter finish never goes away, eventually the bitterness continues to build until it takes over completely,

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 31, 2004 Had on tap at the Columbus location. My choice for a pint out of the sample. Above average for a small brewpub IPA. Dark orange appearance, sticky white head, good lacing. Spucey, fresh aroma. Has some grapfrutiy bitterness to it, but is balanced out quite nicely with a malty backend. Smooth mouthfeel. shrubber85 (2906), Wallhalben, Germany
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 3, 2006 Tap. Peach and strong hops aroma. Orange-amber color. Peach flavor primarily well blended with moderate hops. A pretty standard IPA - hops well represented without being overwhelming. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 2, 2003 Not a very good example of this style in my opinion. Very lightly hopped and very dry. Kind of boring and disappointing. Fruity, and acidic, with a bit of grapefruity sweetness. ChainGangGuy (2563), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 4, 2007 Appearance: Clear, yellow-orange body with a foamy, off-white head and spotty lacing.
Smell: Light pale malt aroma with a floral, soapy hoppiness.
Taste: Pale maltiness with a touch of graininss and just a hint of sweetness follow by soapy, floral hoppiness and a pronounced, yet reasonable amount of hop bitterness which lasts into the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Currently being brewed at 6% ABV, it’s a solid IPA and has grown to be one of Cannon’s best beers in their lineup. aracauna (2385), Georgia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 6, 2005 Clear amber with a good head. There’s a hoppy aroma, but the flavor is a bit watery. It’s not too bad and wouldn’t make a horrible session beer, but I’d like it to have a bit more body. MrRomero (1934), Nolanville, Texas, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 20, 2003 On Tap at the pub: Light orange with thin head. Well hopped with a bitter finish. Too dry in the finish a la Grant's.
