It’s like a slightly stronger and better version of Sweetwater. I’m very impressed. These hop burps could put an infant to sleep... mbrandon2w (109), Worcester, Massachusetts, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 22, 2007 Pours copper with a one finger head. huge hop aroma right away, lots of grapefruit and citrus. also a sort of doughy aroma too. Flavor is soft with a medium hop flavor, followed by a smack of bitterness.
I have a soft spot for this IPA, as it was the first IPA I ever tried about a year and a half ago. Funnily enough I hated it (this was back when all I ever had was miller lite. thank god those days are gone) ultraspank (866), Dublin, Ohio, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 21, 2007 Nose of heavy pine & citrus, some yeast & spice, flowers. Pours a sparkling orange copper. The decent cascade resolves into a tight off-white head that is mostly lasting & leaves good lace. The flavor is burnt & bitter with a comfortable level of acidity. The full body is dry & soft. The finish feels astringent. Right up my alley. DrHomolka (728), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 20, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is perfumey hops, fruity, floral. Taste is smooth, relatively light, a bit fizzy in the mouth with a very slight bitter finish. The floral and fruity notes in the aroma come through in the taste as well. Pretty mild actually. This is a very drinkable, decent IPA that is pretty unique. Ibrew2or3 (2761), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 18, 2007 Pours very nice clear deep gold color with off white head. Solid hop aroma with biter grapefruit hops and sweeter citrus orange juice. Behind all the hops is a mild sweet malt aroma. The flavor jumps to life with grapefruit hop bitterness. At a lesser extent is a sweeter citrus hop flavor from a late addition of hops to the boil. Way in the background is a murmur of malt sweetness. The beer closes its taste experience with big citrus hop bitterness long into the after taste. Body seems a bit thin. tomthompson89 (1478), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 14, 2007 Lots of hops dominate the aroma.Pours a murky copper with a medium off white head.Lots of bitter hops make up the flavor.Medium mouthfeel with a big bitter hop finish. buerckholtz (33), asheville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 14, 2007 Pours briliantly clear with a smalish off white head, aromas of hops and some bready malt, also noteworthy to say there is an off aroma of DMS (like a cooked can corn smell) usually results from a hot fermentation, not a good thing but its in there. Flavor is solid with english malt, slightly sweet lke a dogfish 90 minute but not as alcoholic. Hop presents in more of the flavor and aroma than the bitterness, this is not a bitter beer by any means, but it has a nice hop profile though. I was plesantly suprised at this beer over all.
