| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 17, 2007 Horrendously overbalanced, tasting of nothing but grapefruit and pine trees. If there is malt in here, I cannot find it. theisti (1650), Leawood, Kansas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 14, 2007 12 oz. bottle from mj. Best before Feb-08 on label. Pour is clear orange gold with a one inch white head. Aroma of some sweetness, mostly malt biscuit sweetness, though it blends well with a nice ripe orange sweetness as well. Further back in the aroma is resin and earthiness. Taste has a nice blend of the sweet malt and citrus hops. Finish is wet, and a bit longer than I would like. Palate is nice and full, hiding the fairly high ABV (for an IPA). Nice beer all around, thanks for sharing this one Mike! sloth (1662), Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 12, 2007 Medium sized white head, good retention with a spotty, stringy lace. Clear copper hued ale. Nose is nice, fruity, spicey, some bubblegun, piney and citrusy. Body is med/light, lightly oily on the palate with a just right carbonation level, for me. Plenty of the aforementioned hop notes in the flavor dept., with some hidden pale malts, more tropical notes as well. Finish is almost dry, fruity with an easy hop bite. Nice quaffer @ 7.5% !! Well done CC! TikiE (360), Sylva, North Carolina, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 8, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Secret Santa! Pours a nice gold orange color with great lacing and a bubbly head. Aroma of strong grapefruit and citrus. Flavor is similar with strong hoppy notes. More bitter than malty. Nice grapefruit flavor with minimal amounts of toasty malt. Lingering dryness on the palate. Very good. shackinetics (132), Florida, USA

Intense floral and earthy aromas. Very earthy taste with some rich fruit flavors- Kind of thin mouth-feel and not as complex as say dogfish 90min, but hop punch aplenty and enough Alc/Vol to warm you up after just a few sips... Clipper City has some quality brews! Skeegle (479), Maryland, USA

Super bitter, the hops can be overwhelming if you intend to drink more than one. Not a very balanced IPA, but the hop bite is nice for the first beer. Very floral and green tasting. RERATE:
Just had this tonight on tap. Wow! Super sweet IPA, almost tasted like a beautifully hopped, super bitter fruit beer, only the fruits were like aged blueberries and not aspartame-cherry like most wheat/fruit beers. This beer was just fantastic, world class tasting, one of the finest IPA’s I’ve ever had.
