| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 27, 2007 Now this is how a IPA should be made, malty and hoppy but not astringent hoppy. the hops are floral, grassy and slightly piney. the rest is smooth with lots of malt. A real winner! rudolf (1782), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 15, 2006 Ruby/copper body, creamy white head. Nose is cotton candy/bubblegum, some caramel, dark fruit, a smide of alcohol. Flavor is sweet caramel, I can’t place the hops - herbal, tea, bitter finish. Meh.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 2, 2007 On draft at The Federal, Durham, NC. This is an inconsistent brew, in my opinion. I’ve had fine pints and I’ve had sloppy, syrupy ones (like this one). Basically a bigger-than-average IPA with a strong floral aroma and a healthy malt backbone, it’s tasting a bit icky on tap. Maybe it’s just this one location, and I have found this delicious before, so I’m giving this a decent score nonetheless. ryan (1780), Beltsville, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 21, 2006 Pours pale with a medium white head that fades to a cover. The aroma is citrus and caramel. The flavor is very well balanced with plenty of residual sweetness to go with the high hopping rate. Medium body, smooth texture. At $7.95 a six pack, this is one of the better buys around. tjthresh (1778), Greenfield, Indiana, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 30, 2009 Pours copper orange with a biege head. Everything just seems very bland. No nose to speak of. Tastes like a week pale ale. It don’t taste bad. I don’t taste like an IPA. sneagrams3 (1757), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
