Aroma of earthy grainy malts and a touch of grapefruity hops. Body starts with a mildly sweet grainy crystal maltiness with some earthy bittering hoppy balance. A decent IPA.

Smells of citrus, pine resin, caramel, roses. Tastes of sweet malt and pine with some underlying bitterness. Mouthfeel is a little watery but has some nice hoppiness. Chewy caramel finish with some lasting bitterness. Cornfield (4975), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 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.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 10, 2007 Growler. Poured a moslty clear copper color with a thin off-white head. 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.
