| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Dec 21, 2008 12oz bottle at the Crosswoods Winking Lizard. Clear orange amber color with a quickly dissipating head. Nice aroma with lots of hop and a good malt balance. Malty flavor followed by hop, but kind of a weak finish. Decent overall. pinkzambia (989), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 21, 2008 Bottle: Cloudy gold with an off-white ring head. Dry hop and grapefruit rind aroma. Not too complex, but a nice bitter flavor. Overall, a solid IPA that could be drank on a regular basis. luttonm (281), Belgrade, Serbia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 21, 2008 12oz bottle in florida. Well done, hoppy sweet and malts. Very copper pour that lends to a musty rich hop nose. Flavor is concentrated and sticky-sweet. A bit musty, orange-citrus and resinous citrus-hop. Tasty and is on the high end of an IPA ... flavor is approaching a dipa but the body isnt there. Not a sessionable beer for me. DougShoemaker (2856), Toronto, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 12, 2008 Cask at Coles/Mr. Goodbar Fest.
Hugely hoppy citrus nose, hazy burnt orange, tiny off-white head. Flavour is assertively orange, some pine notes, and a big backbone of good malt. Medium bodied, very well balanced, given all those hops, taste bud zinging.
Great. glennmastrange (836), hobe sound, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 9, 2008 Bottle. Heavy malt aromas of roasted and caramel, moderate hops of perfume and lemon, light soap and meat for the yeast and hints of wood, toffee and vanilla. Head is average size, rocky, slightly off-white has good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is almost clear yet sparkling amber/copper. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Palate is medium, creamy and has a soft carbonation. It finishes with a saccharine like sweetness and feel. This is a very unique IPA. I liked it a lot but the artificial sweet taste threw it off a bit. puggy211 (584), cordova, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 6, 2008 Pours a minute 1/3-inch off-white head over a light amber body. Loose, oily lacing. Sweet and floral aromas of hops and grains. Flavors of floral resinous hops, mild caramel and malt, green grapes, wheat, and very subtle citrus. Thin/medium carbonation and medium/full body. Finishes clean and slightly rounded on the palate. Well-balanced hops and malt. Slightly better than the average IPA.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 28, 2008 Glowing amber-gold with pretty thick tan head and splotchy lacing. Super-fruity and juicy nose. Pineapple and overripe pear. Also some earthiness that offsets the sweetness. Good body with moderate level of carbonation. Somewhat silky. Medium-bodied with pine and earthy hop finish that belies the fruity nose. Not bad. jake65 (1698), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 27, 2008 Bottle: Light orange / small white head. Lots of grapefruit up front and citrus. Sweet and fruity. Tastes fruity with more citrus and maintains a wet hopped feel. Bitters and sweet fruitiness. Light florals. Thanks Matt!
