The hoppy aroma had notes of light pine, citrus and some earthy character. Malt was underneath but overall the aroma seemed mutted and dull. The flavor had a nice mix of malt and some citrus. The finish was long, dry and moderately bitter. OldGrowth (1426), North Carolina, USA

Clean lite brownish orange, ok head & good lacing. Bitter flavor. Like aroma, a sharp bitter flavor, A litttle grainy. Medium body, smooth creamy mouthfeel, bitter dry finish. Nice. I see it won gold for "English IPA" at the GABF. I mean it’s made in America, but I guess because it’s not a monster ipa it get thrown in this catagory. Nice easy to drink ipa.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 1, 2006 Very golden bodied for the style, this ale has a modest white head that does some thick lacing. The aroma could be stronger, but it is a nice blending of sweet caramel and PNW hops. The flavor has a respectable caramel backbone, a touch of toffee supporting it. Good grapefruit and pine bitterness, but as a hophead I think it should have been stronger, too. Decent, but it strikes me more as a slightly pumped up APA.

An off-white head on top of an extremely golden amber ale. Virtual sheeting action with the lacing. Nice. A spicy air to it. Cascade-esque with the citrusy aroma. The taste begins floral, then ends with a crazy bitteness at the end. Sharp. Crisp. A little harsh towards the end of the sampling, but a nice spicy hoppy IPA to try.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 11, 2006 Bottle from Ross. Pours a very translucent amber with a white head. Malty and grapefruity aroma. Flavor of butterscotch and caramel with a spicy bitter hop finish. Not bad, but not a standout in a very competitive arena RCL (1485), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 3, 2006 Very nice aroma, but the flavor disappoints. Very piney, rather flat, one-dimensional hop flavor. Pass. ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 19, 2006 Pours out a light brown color with a thick white head. Smell is hoppy, grassy, and grapefruits. Taste is dry, very dry, after drinking, its gone. Its interesting, but I am glad I got a 6 to send out so others can try it. Not really something I will revisit. 00cobraR (1098), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA
